Research Data Management Training: Strategies and Resources

Session ID#: 123445

Session Description:
Knowledge of research data management (RDM) practices is becoming more important for Earth scientists. In this era of cross or transdisciplinary science, researchers and students need to be aware of FAIR data principles, how and where to archive data, and the tools and computational skills needed to support data stewardship and reproducibility. Many Earth scientists, however, remain unfamiliar with RDM practices and principles. This session is open to all educators and trainers from universities and data organizations to present on practices used to facilitate learning about RDM (which may include the FAIR data principles), how they are described and advertised to reach their target audiences, and any evidence of impact. Our broader goal is to help the community understand the range of resources available, to facilitate sharing of those resources among educators and trainers, and to identify possible synergies between projects possibly leading to greater distribution of RDM expertise.
