Because good research needs good data

NeDICC animated video: An introduction to the basics of Research Data

Joy Davidson | 28 October 2014

An introduction to the basics of research data is an animated video which explains the basics of research data. This video is recommended background material for students planning to attend a workshop on research data management. Feedback from previous NeDICC workshops has indicated that many workshop attendees do not have a clear concept of what research data entails and have no experience of working with research data. This animated video has as its purpose the explanation of the basics of research data, in a simplistic, entertaining and interesting manner. It is hoped that the information contained in the video will better prepare research data novices for a future research data management course/workshop.
