Whether you are a new researcher or a seasoned veteran, chances are you’re working with research data. Small changes to your data management practices can make a significant impact during research, and save time and effort when you are ready to share the results. In this session you’ll  learn about resources and practical steps you can take to organize and document your data during research, and how to increase the impact of your research while meeting publisher and funder expectations for sharing your data. Employing these practices will ensure that everyone, including you, can understand and work with your data in the weeks, months, and years to come.
