Have you ever returned to a research project at a later date and can’t seem to remember certain details that would allow you to reuse or replicate your own data? Need others to understand & use your data? Data documentation and metadata are practices you can put into place to help others, including future you! This workshop will cover the fundamentals of data documentation (including standardized metadata), explain the principles behind the recommended practices, and prepare you to streamline your own processes of data documentation.

This workshop will be held in the Fine Visualization Lab, A15 Fine Hall. See Video Directions to Visualization Lab from the side entrance of Lewis Library.
