Data Management for Researchers: Organize, Maintain and Share Your Data for Research Success

摘要

Kristen Briney provides a useful guidebook, although the title may mislead those looking for a broad-ranging view of data management. The book addresses data management relatively narrowly and targets a fairly specific kind of researcher - those the author encounters in her work as a research scientist turned librarian, specialising in advising scientists on data management. Thus the title refers primarily to researchers in physical sciences gathering data in laboratories, to digital data and to meeting the increasingly common requirement in academia for data management plans to be submitted with applications to research funding bodies.
