Project Data
Raw Data:
Usually in standard format (DICOM, e-Prime)
Processed Data:
Various formats (often excel, word)
Varies from project to project
Software:
Often closed source
No version control
Current Practice
Raw Data:
Archived on CD / Tape - NAS
Processed Data:
Responsibility of PI
Software:
Version control available
poor uptake
Not centrally available
Not open source
Future Developments
SOPs to cover archiving of project data –
Including:
Creation of data dictionaries
Documenting analysis procedures
Specifying preferred data formats
BUT….
not popular – does not publish papers (RAE)!
HOWEVER….
Some data is very valuable and should be captured
