Good research data management is increasingly important for researchers from all disciplines. Proper documentation of your data collection is a crucial part. But when do you have time for that? And what do you need to pay attention to when writing documentation?
In this 90-minute session, we will introduce a low-threshold type of documentation that is suitable for most research data: a structured Readme file. You will then have 45 minutes to work on your Readme file - quietly and in good company.
We will wrap up with a question and answer session where you will be able to ask us any questions you have about writing Readme files!
Target Audience
PhD students, postdocs, researchers, and research support staff at the University of Oslo.
