Quantitative Problem Solving in Natural Resources / Interlude: Collecting and Managing Data
"Important raw data should be stored redundantly, backed up, and archived in an unmodified form, while analyses should be performed on copies. Documentation and metadata should describe where, when, and how the data were collected and should include a data dictionary specifying variable names, symbols, units, and procedures. These practices keep data safe, understandable, reproducible, and useful to others."
