Resources for Data Management
There are a number of excellent resources available that provide information about data management as it relates to academic research and archaeology more specifically.
Archaeology Data Service - Data Management
Our own guidance on data management best practice for data creators including specific information on management ahead of data deposition with a digital repository, particularly in the UK.
Ariadne Research Infrastructure - Guide for Archaeological Data Management Planning
A series of online tools to assist archaeologists who want to create a data management plan, with specific focus on European research Projects and the requirements for projects funded by the European Commission.
Chartered Institute for Archaeologists - Dig Digital
A comprehensive set of resources to support those creating digital data in archaeology, enabling the production of complete, ordered and stable archives that meet professional standards. This resource is geared towards professional archaeologists and links to existing CIfA standards.
DMPonline - Data Management Planning Resources
DMPonline helps you to create, review, and share data management plans that meet institutional and funder requirements. This page of resources links to useful resources on data management including example data management plans.
The Turing Way - The Turing Way: A handbook for reproducible, ethical and collaborative research
The Turing Way handbook is a collection of community-developed guides on data science practices including Reproducible Research, Project Design, Communication, Collaboration and Ethical Research. Focuses specifically on data science, these guides provide useful resources for all researchers within academia and beyond.
