In this course you will learn about the diversity of data and the best practices that should be followed throughout the research data lifecycle to ensure that data are collected, organized, described, licensed, cited, preserved, shared, stored and reused ethically. We will discuss data governance, data privacy, data quality and data security among other topics. By the end of the course, you will be able to identify the components of a good data management plan, which will help you establish policies and appropriate infrastructures to support your institution in managing, sharing and reusing research data efficiently.
There are no pre-requisites required prior to registering for this course.
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
Analyze the diversity of data types encountered throughout the research data lifecycle
Evaluate best practices for collecting, organizing, describing, licensing, citing, preserving, sharing, storing, and ethically reusing data.
Describe key concepts in data governance, data privacy, data quality, and data security, and apply these concepts to real-world scenarios to ensure ethical handling and management of research data.
Identify the components of a comprehensive data management plan (DMP) and assess how these components contribute to efficient management, sharing, and reuse of research data within institutional settings.
Develop the skills necessary to establish policies and infrastructures to support effective data management within their institutions, including considerations for data governance, privacy, security, and ethical use, as well as strategies for promoting data sharing and reuse among researchers.

Scholarly Communication is dynamic and changing constantly. Librarians are handling various online sources and digital collections over three decades. Research Data Lifecycle is a fast-growing concept to the professionals to understand and handle the humungous data generated at institutes. Having trained in this domain will definitely add-on new skillsets to individuals to take on new challenges confidently and contribute to the development of the institute.

Data management is an increasingly important part of library management. From librarians to students to researchers, everybody is using data and datasets. This class will introduce you to data management plans, the research data lifecycle, data organization, file naming, version control, managing and sharing data, discoverability, ethics, FAIR data principles, and data repositories. This class will help you to understand the emerging concepts and skills in data management, and is recommended if you are preparing to teach an introduction to data management class for incoming students, or to increase your general skills in data. Highly recommended for all, whether you are a librarian, an assistant, or a student preparing to career in library and information science.

This class was very helpful in understanding more about Data management and how important good data management plans are within repositories and even for other uses where data and information is used. I am not a librarian, but manage projects and work on strategic planning. The course showed the importance of good metadata and a data management plan for any kind of data that would be used by others in projects or to do other research. I would recommend this class to anyone that conducts surveys or collects and manages any data.

This class was just what I needed to help me grow into a new role in RDM support. The content and assignments were well-scaffolded and gave me the opportunity to complete real-world tasks that I will be able to bring right into my job. Very practical – ideal for anyone embarking in RDM support roles.

The instructor was fully knowledgeable and experienced in DM and provided good fade-back on assignments. He also asked us to respond to the students’ responses during the discussion, so we could learn a lot from each other’s responses. The instructor also provided useful materials, tools and link of data management. These are very helpful.
