General Information

Open Data training aims to help researchers make their data available to others so that their results can be checked and the data reused for other purposes.

This training will teach researchers to:

produce data which are FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable
find repositories
use appropriate data formats
manage metadata (information describing datasets)
ensure non-identifiability (for researchers working with human data)

Open Data training introduces you to the fundamentals of data sharing and provides you with practical tools for sharing real data. It also acts as a platform for further self-directed learning. Other UKRN Open Research topics can be found in the list of UKRN Primers.
