KristinBest day of the year: I got my author copies of “The Data Management Workbook.” It comes out on December 2 from Pelagic Publishing and you can pre-order it now from Pelagic or Amazon.
Susan Borda@briney nice work!!
Bill, organizer of stuff@briney Congratulations!
Donald HobernWell done! Is the book primarily for researchers or does it reach into the role of repositories and other data infrastructure to support researchers?
And will there be a non-Amazon ebook as well?
@dhobern The book focuses on practical things researchers can do to manage their data better, like file naming, discussing data management responsibilities with collaborators, making better passwords, post-project wrap-up, etc. It does talk about repositories, but only from a researcher/user perspective.
Also, I don’t see an ebook yet directly from Pelagic, so Amazon only right now. But I will tell you that the first rough iteration of the book is online: https://caltechlibrary.github.io/RDMworkbook/.
Thanks - I'll take a look. I'm building end-to-end as-FAIR-as-possible data management pipelines for a community that is very mixed (complex file-naming patterns sometimes take the place of other metadata), so I'm interested in good researcher-oriented resources.
Isu 🐲@Isurandil A DRM-free ebook is not an option for the published book, sorry. The best I can do is the first, rough draft of the book posted online -- https://caltechlibrary.github.io/RDMworkbook/ . It's licensed CC BY-NC but doesn't have a download option.
