Research data service offers new online training course

The Research Data Management Training (MANTRA) course is an open, online training course intended for self-paced learning by PhD students and researchers in the initial stages of their research careers, or by anyone interested in learning more about research data management, an issue gaining prominence in the research policy arena.

MANTRA has recently moved from project to service status, and is a featured resource in Jorum and a linked service on the EDINA home page.

Edinburgh University Data Library has made a commitment to ensure that the online hosted course remains up-to-date and fit-for-purpose, and that future versions are deposited in Jorum for community use as well being made available on the MANTRA website.

MANTRA was initially funded by the JISC Managing Research Data Programme (2010-11).
