International Love Data Week: Let me count the ways!

Do you love data? Are you interested in learning more about how proper data handling can enhance your research?

Organizations around the world are offering a number of events to help celebrate International Love Data Week, February 13-17, 2023.

ICPSR has a robust listing of events and workshops to help you sharpen your skills: ICPSR List of Events.

The Network of the National Library of Medicine (NNLM) is also hosting daily scheduled events: NNLM Love Data Week Schedule.

Kick-off of Love Data Week, February 13, also coincides with the MSK Library’s monthly Research Data Management: Best Practices class. Join us for a discussion of the FAIR principles and practical steps you can take every day to develop healthy data habits: Class Sign-up.

For many researchers, data management has taken on a special meaning as NIH has rolled out its new Data Management and Sharing Policy (January 25, 2023), which requires that all NIH grant applicants include a Data Management Plan with their submission. The MSK Library has been collaborating with administrative offices, grant editors, and researchers across the organization to provide guidance, develop tools, and centralize information through a new online resource, our NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy LibGuide.

If you have any questions about research data or want to chat with someone who not only counts the ways he loves data but is also likely to perform a Chi-Squared analysis on the ways he loves data, please reach out to Anthony Dellureficio, Associate Librarian for Data Management Services.
