The UK Data Archive (UKDA) recently announced the release of its new suite of web pages providing guidance on data management and sharing. The pages aim to provide data creators, data managers and data curators with best practice strategies and methods for creating, preparing and storing shareable datasets.
In addition to these web pages, bespoke advice and training are provided by UKDA staff throughout the life span of a research project - from the initial award application, through the data creation phase to the end of the active research phase and to the final storage and dissemination of data. A comprehensive frequently asked questions web page is also available.
Founded in 1967, the UKDA is funded by the ESRC, JISC and the University of Essex. It houses several thousand datasets of interest to researchers in all sectors and from many different disciplines. The Data Archive is an internationally-renowned centre of expertise in data acquisition, preservation, dissemination and promotion.
