About this session

Juliane Schneider and Katie Hughes will be presenting on two different perspectives of Research Data Management support.

If you have never handled data before you might think that you are not qualified to train students in data management. However, most of data management is common sense.

Katie Hughes will discuss the training that she provides postgraduate business students including a Lego activity that demonstrates the importance of metadata. She will conclude by discussing some of the issues that have arisen regarding ethics, GDPR compliance, and students collecting sensitive data.

Juliane Schneider will present her experiences as a Metadata Specialist for the Research Data Curation Program at UC San Diego, and her current work as a coordinator for research data submissions for Sage Bionetworks. She will talk about the need for metadata as a driver of reuse, how you get researchers to see you as a valuable collaborator, and what needs to happen to make true curation feasible within institutions in an increasingly grant-driven world where sustainability is not a priority.
