This workshop focused on data management, from project start-up through data collection, analysis, and publication of your major findings. Presenters reviewed best-practices for data storage, form/format, documentation, and integrity. Attendees were asked to provide feedback on their storage needs and brainstorm ideas for a college-wide storage system for EHE researchers. Best practices for handling active participant files, data sets, variables, and codebooks were discussed by leading OSU research scientists. Presenters included Amanda Rinehart, Data Management Librarian, OSU Libraries; Joe Roush, CIO College of Education and Human Ecology, as well as leading researchers from EHE including Jessica Logan, Senior Researcher, Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy.
