DESCRIPTION:Data documentation is essential to make sure that well-organi
 sed and well-documented research data can be produced from our research 
 projects. This workshop provides an overview of different types of docum
 entation depending on data type (e.g. primary or secondary\, survey or t
 ranscripts)\, as an essential part of implementing good data management 
 in research projects\, with a focus on optimising data sharing.\n\nIn th
 is session we will explore the following:\n\nthe critical role of data d
 ocumentation in research integrity and data sharing\, for both current a
 nd future research projects.\nhow to develop comprehensive documentation
  for various data types\, incorporating practical examples and templates
  that can be adapted to your projects.\nan overview of metadata: what it
  is\, its importance in making your data discoverable and understandable
 \, and the standards to follow for effective data sharing.\nDuring this 
 free 90-minute online workshop\, participants will learn the foundationa
 l principles and practical strategies for creating robust data documenta
 tion that enhances the accessibility\, usability\, and longevity of rese
 arch data. Effective documentation is not a one-size-fits-all process\; 
 it varies significantly across different types of data and the workshop 
 is tailored to address these nuances\, ensuring researchers can apply be
 st practices relevant to their specific data types.\n\nThe workshop will
  conclude with a dedicated Q&A session.\n\nPresenter: Maureen Haaker\n\n
 Level: Introductory\n\nExperience/knowledge required: Basic understandin
 g of research methods is recommended but not required.\n\nTarget audienc
