Data Management Practices for Early Career Scientists NACP All Investigator Meeting

This workshop provides data management practices for early career scientists to improve the usability of their data sets, including metadata, data management plans, and organizing data sets. Short-term benefits include saving time on data management and easier data preparation, while long-term benefits include facilitating data sharing and receiving credit for archived data products.

  1. Data Management Practices for Early Career ScientistsNACP All Investigator Meeting Robert Cook Environmental Sciences Division Oak Ridge National Laboratory Oak Ridge, TN cookrb@ornl.gov February 3, 2013

  2. Workshop Team • Robert Cook, Oak Ridge National Laboratory • Viv Hutchison, US Geological Survey • William Michener, University of New Mexico • Yaxing Wei, Oak Ridge National Laboratory • Suresh Vannan, Oak Ridge National Laboratory • Peter Griffith, NASA - GSFC • Deb Agarwal, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory • Bai Yang, Oak Ridge National Laboratory Core Science Analytics and Synthesis (CSAS)

  3. Workshop Goal Provide data management practices that investigators should perform during the course of data collection to improve the usability of their data sets

  4. Benefits of Good Data Management Practices Short-term • Spend less time doing data management and more time doing research • Easier to prepare and use data for yourself • Collaborators can readily understand and use data files Long-term (data archival) • Scientists outside your project can find, understand, and use your data • You get credit for archived data products and their use in other papers • Funding agencies protect their investment

  5. NSF Requires Data Management Plans

  6. NSF considers data sets as products of research
