A Data Management tutorial
Writing about web page http://datalib.edina.ac.uk/mantra/
The University of Edinburgh have produced this tutorial for PhD students on research data management, which is free for all to use...
To quote from the introduction: "The course content is mainly geared for three disciplines: geosciences, social and political sciences and clinical psychology, however, many of the issues covered apply equally to all research disciplines."
Each unit is designed to take one hour and there are 8 units, so it's a substantial course, involving data handling exercises. A couple of the units appear to still be in progress, but I guess if you start it now, then maybe these will be completed by the time you get to them!
