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

This webinar is an introduction to the new QAMyData tool for health-checking your numeric data, launched in November 2019.
The tool uses automated methods to detect and report on some of the most common problems found in the survey or numeric data, such as missingness, duplication, outliers, and direct identifiers. The open-source tool helps data creators and user’s quality assess a numeric data file using a comprehensive list of ‘tests’, classified into types: file, metadata, data integrity, and direct identifiers. Popular file formats can be tested, including SPSS, Stata, SAS, and CSV. The test configuration feature allows the creation of your own unique Data Quality Profile, which can play a useful role in your ‘FAIR’ data checking.
The webinar will describe the tests that are included in the tool, how to configure these to meet your own quality thresholds, and how to download the software from our GitHub page. they will also show their teaching exercise using messy data that can help promote data management skills.
