Data auditing is like doing a health check-up for research data. 🩺

It is the process of carefully reviewing and examining data to make sure it is
✅ accurate
👍 complete, and
📊 trustworthy

Good science rests on the foundation of reliable, well-curated data. Without trust in the integrity, completeness, and accuracy of datasets, even the most sophisticated research can falter. 😥

Dr. Matthew Partridge is conducting a Webinar all about Data Auditing: https://www.psdi.ac.uk/event/webinar-data-auditing/

This webinar by Dr. Matthew Partridge explores the data auditing process behind the Physical Chemistry Properties data collection.

It highlights surprising errors found in trusted sources, the methodologies that were explored, and includes a very persuasive argument for why auditing isn’t just housekeeping – it’s key for building reliable data collections without which we won’t have reliable science.

📆 Date: 16th October 2025
⏰ Time: 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
