Insights from National Love Your Data Week

================================

Things to consider

  • Inventory your data (quant should have a code book while qual should have a list of codes and/or a framework)
  • Organize the data
  • Assess the data for gaps or missing information
  • Describe the data in a short paragraph to remind yourself and others what is available
  • Consider making the data open and available for re-use
