The book features guidance on:

• how to plan your research using a data management checklist

• how to store and transfer data
• research ethics and privacy in data sharing and intellectual property rights
• data strategies for collaborative research
• how to publish and cite data
• how to make use of other people’s research data, illustrated with six real-life case studies of data use.
