Data Management Resources
The National Agricultural Library provides guidance on data management for Agricultural Research Service employees as well as the broader agricultural research community. Across the research lifecycle, there are actions which can be taken by scientists, data managers, library staff, and data users which contribute to effective and sustainable data management.
Here is a list of resources from USDA, land grant universities, and scientific communities which provide guidance on various aspects of Data Management:
