About the Webinar
Datasets are becoming larger and more complicated, with many people often contributing to and using the same data. Simultaneously, funders, publishers, and research institutions are beginning to require open data. These pressures can leave researchers and project managers stressed out and struggling to manage their data.
No worries, CyVerse has got your back! Data management expert Ramona Walls will take you through key features of the CyVerse platform that support managing your data throughout the entire data life cycle – all in one place! From easy bulk uploads, to permissions management, to using metadata, to getting Digital Object Identifiers (DOI), this webinar provides the best practices and helpful hints that any scientist needs to keep the data deluge at bay.
