Whether you are looking for information on how to write a data management plan, how to prepare and share FAIR data for reuse, or how to write a README file to describe data, we have many guides on working with data throughout the research lifecycle. From the planning stages, through closeout and archiving, these guides summarize best practices and point to resources on campus and beyond. The top-visited guides are:
- Guide to writing “readme” style metadata
- Metadata and describing data
- Writing a data management (and sharing) plan
We can help with questions we haven’t yet written a guide on, too, so reach out if you can’t find the guidance you’re looking for. Consultants are available to help with data-related questions year-round. Email data-help@cornell.edu to arrange a consultation.
