Practical data management: Enabling graduate students and staff to function as ethical actors

Abstract

Graduate students and staff are the unrecognized daily stewards for much of the research data collected on academic campuses. Often, they are performing these vital tasks without understanding their role as part of the research life cycle and scholarly communication process. Providing data management training is vital to ensuring the integrity of valuable research data. This poster will describe a series of instructional tools designed to provide a skills base for responsible data management.
