This module provides both a practical and theoretical introduction to the challenges and opportunities associated with managing, accessing, analysing and disseminating social science research data. Adopting a ‘hands-on’ collaborative approach, students will acquire practical experience of all stages of the research data lifecycle and learn about good practices in managing and sharing social science research data in all its variety. They will develop an understanding of national and international policies on sharing research data, and why this is important for research transparency and integrity, and for addressing important social questions. Students will become familiar with social science research data infrastructures, and learn how to find, access and use existing data.
