The Emory Center for Digital Scholarship has two offerings in January for managing data and teaching online.
A Data Curation Workshop will be held Jan. 12, co-sponsored with the Institute for Quantitative Theory & Methods. It will teach participants practical strategies for data curation and management.
Led by instructors from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), the one-day workshop will show participants how to plan for, review, assess and clean data, including confidential and restricted data.
Knowledge about archiving data to comply with federal funding agency mandates and requirements from journals and publishers is promised.
No prior data experience is required. Confirmation of attendance in the session will be sent by Friday, Dec. 19.
For more information, contact Jennifer Doty, research data librarian.
