Data, data everywhere! Managing & organizing data

Abstract

Doing scientific research usually means generating lots of digital data and files. In this workshop we will go over best practices for how to organize and manage your files, how to create a file naming convention, and practical strategies you can apply right away to help get better organized.

While this workshop will be useful for researchers at all career stages, it will be most useful for those that are early career researchers, getting started on or in the midst of a project with lots of files, and students.

We encourage you to check out the other HS-STEM Summer Data Workshops, too. Each workshop can be attended independently. Slides and recordings will be archived afterwards at https://guides.lib.umich.edu/datamanagement/workshops.
