I am thrilled to share that my book, The Data Management Workbook, will be published next month on December 2, 2025 by Pelagic Publishing.
The Data Management Workbook is a collection of 24 hands-on exercises to help you improve your data management. For example, if you learned about the concept of file naming conventions in my first book, Data Management for Researchers, an exercise in the Workbook actually walks you through the steps to create a customized file naming convention for your research. The goal is for the book to help you implement data management strategies that fit your research workflows.
The Workbook is the traditionally published and updated version of educational resource, The Research Data Management Workbook, which I blogged about previously. Do note that the downloadable versions of the old version have gone away, though the online edition is still up. This published edition not only is updated and polished, but also contains six completely new exercises. I’m really pleased with the updated version of the Workbook and I enjoyed spending the extra time and effort to make the exercises that much better for everyone.
Do you want a copy of The Data Management Workbook? You can order the book from the publisher, Pelagic, or find it on Amazon. Or encourage your library to buy a copy, so multiple people can enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy this book and it helps you improve your data management!
