Research data training – from Nature Research Academies

While stakeholders including funding agencies and publishers increasingly require researchers to share their data openly, researchers are often unsure about data best practices. In a 2018 survey of 7,000 researchers, almost half said that they find organizing data a challenge, one third didn’t know where to share data, and 30% admitted to having lost data.*
