IntroductionWelcome to the Research Data Training series! These training modules aim to help you think about how to work with your data in a methodical, efficient manner. We recommend that you first watch all the videos in order, then come back to each when you need a refresher.These modules assume that you have had some experience with data such as through an introductory research methods or statistics course. If you are new to research data, then we suggest you watch An Introduction to the Basics of Research Data. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improving these modules, as well as suggestions for other topics. You can email us at datasvcs@syr.edu .
