RMF2010 Abstracts
Session: 17 - Tuesday 6th July AM (9.15 - 12.45)
Title: Resources I: resources for data management
Name: Paul Lambert
Affiliation: University of Stirling
Abstract Details
This session is concerned with looking after, and getting the best out of, your research data. It covers topics in 'data management' which, we will argue, are critical, though often unappreciated, considerations in undertaking effective social science research.
The session is most relevant to people involved in the creation and hands-on analysis of empirical data, with particular relevance to those working with larger scale survey data. The session covers topics in the organisation and documentation of data, and in the enhancement of data such as by linking it with other information resources and by undertaking variable transformations and standardisations.
