| Description | Data sharing and information exchange can greatly enhance the reproducibility, utility, and power of research work. Distressingly, however, publicly shared datasets across are often compromised in terms of their completeness and reusability. We discuss and address this limitation by focusing on the opportunity to provide early awareness, experience and training for students in positive data management behaviours. We showcase the development and implementation of LUSTRE, the Lancaster University STatistics REsource. This student project data management system is designed to help appreciate and deploy open science practices amongst (masters or undergraduate) psychology students working with empirical data. LUSTRE is an open source, online data catalogue system, that attempts to capture key data management information about a student research project. |
