Description - a brief synopsis, abstract or summary of what the learning resource is about: 

This course provides recommended practices for facilitating the discoverability, access, integrity, and reuse value of your research data.  The modules have been selected from a larger Canvas course "Best Practices for Biomedical Research Data Management (https://www.canvas.net/browse/harvard-medical/courses/biomed-research-da... ).

Biomedical research today is not only rigorous, innovative and insightful, it also has to be organized and reproducible. With more capacity to create and store data, there is the challenge of making data discoverable, understandable, and reusable. Many funding agencies and journal publishers are requiring publication of relevant data to promote open science and reproducibility of research.

In this course, students will learn how to identify and address current workflow challenges throughout the research life cycle. By understanding best practices for managing your data throughout a project, you will succeed in making your research ready to publish, share, interpret, and be used by others.  Course materials include video lectures, presentation slides, readings and resources, research case studies, interactive activities and concept quizzes.
