**HMS Workshop on Experimental Design: Experimental Platforms, Design, and Analytics**
=====================================
**Module 6: Data Lifecycle Management: Practices for Maximizing Sharing and Reproducibility**
Biomedical research today is not only rigorous, innovative, and insightful, it also has to be organized and documented. With more capacity to create and store data, there is the challenge of making data discoverable, understandable, and reusable.
Many funding agencies and journal publishers are requiring the management and sharing of relevant data to promote open science and reproducibility of research.
In this workshop, students will identify and discuss current workflow challenges throughout the research lifecycle.
By understanding better practices for managing your data throughout a project, you will succeed in making your research ready to publish, share, interpret, and be used by others.
