An increasing number of agencies, journals and other stakeholders require data producers to share, archive and plan for the management of their data. Effectively managing data can also help increase research impact and support open scientific inquiry.
These videos are designed for researchers and information professionals who need data management and curation knowledge. They will take you through how to manage data throughout the entire research data lifecycle, gain an understanding of the importance of archiving and sharing data, and learn how to assess the trustworthiness of repositories.
These videos are free open resources originally created for the short course, Research Data Management and Sharing:
https://www.coursera.org/learn/data-management
If the course is not currently running, you can still work through the resources in your own time using the videos in this playlist.
