<h2>About MANTRA </h2>
<p>MANTRA is a free, online non-assessed course with guidelines to
help you understand and reflect on how to manage the digital data
you collect throughout your research. It has been crafted for the
use of post-graduate students, early career researchers, and also
information professionals. It is freely available on the web for
anyone to explore on their own. </p>
<p>Through a series of interactive online units you will learn about
terminology, key concepts, and best practice in research data
management.</p>
<p>There are seven online units in this course and one set of offline
(downloadable) data handling tutorials that will help you:</p>
<ol>
<li>Understand how data are used in research and in society</li>
<li>Create a data management plan and apply it from the start to the
finish of your research project</li>
<li>Name, organise, and version your data files and code effectively </li>
<li>Prepare your files and documentation for submission into a trustworthy repository or archive</li>
<li>Know how to store and transport your data safely and securely </li>
<li>Understand legal and ethical requirements for managing data
about human subjects and how to safeguard sensitive data </li>
<li>Know the benefits of sharing data and the FAIR principles; licensing
data for re-use </li>
<li>Improve your data handling skills in one of four software
environments: R, SPSS, NVivo, or ArcGIS</li>
</ol>
<p>Each unit takes up to one hour, plus time for further reading and
carrying out the data handling exercises. In the units you will find
explanations, descriptions, examples, exercises, and video clips in
which academics, PhD students and others talk about the challenges
of managing research data. The data handling tutorials (the orange button) assume some
experience with each software environment and provide exercises in
PDF along with open datasets to download and work through using your
own installed software.</p>
<p><strong>Please note</strong> - Learners who require a certificate
of completion may wish to enrol for our 5-week rolling Coursera MOOC
instead: <a href="https://www.coursera.org/learn/research-data-management-and-sharing">Research
Data Management and Sharing</a>, delivered in partnership with the
University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>MANTRA is maintained by <a href="https://www.ed.ac.uk/information-services/research-support/research-data-service/contact">Research
Data Service staff</a> in Information Services, University of
Edinburgh. It was originally developed in collaboration with the
Institute for Academic Development as part of a Jisc-funded Managing
Research Data project
(2010-11). The content was developed based on a <a href="https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/download/attachments/108030107/NeedsAssessmentNotes-MANTRA.pdf?version=1">needs
assessment</a> with three postgraduate training programmes at the
University of Edinburgh in the fields of geosciences, social and
political sciences and clinical psychology. </p>
<p>You are free to reuse part or all of this work. MANTRA modules and
data handling exercises are available for download via Zenodo (<a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1035218">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1035218</a>).
They were created using open source software <a href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/toolkits.aspx">Xerte
Online Toolkits</a> and can be imported and edited into Virtual
Learning Environments such as Moodle. Video interviews with
University of Edinburgh researchers and selected videos are
available via the Data Library <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQOt24e237A5cFwjmu4XNlg">YouTube

page for conditions of the open licence. </p>
