Dated: March 1998
Author: Statistical Services Centre
A booklet giving guidance on managing data for research projects. Planning the data management aspects of a project from the outset helps avoid problems later on.
"Research projects often involve the collection of a large volume of data. The data have then to be processed and analysed, with results and summaries being prepared for publication in some form. For this sequence to proceed smoothly, the project requires a well-defined system of data management. This booklet gives some guidelines on the components of such a system."
Part of a series of statistical guides by The University of Reading Statistical Services Centre, which were originally written as part of a contract with DFID to give guidance to research and support staff working on DFID Natural Resources projects. They provide guidelines for staff involved in the development and presentation of research projects. The guidelines are intended to help researchers to identify their biometric or statistical needs.
