Welcome to the DEPENd Lab’s Data Curation Hub!
This “Data Curation Hub” provides a complete live set of documents for how the UNC DEPENd Lab (PI Dr. Michael N. Hallquist, Ph.D) handles and organizes data and processes relevant to the curation of data for the good of the lab!
Mission Statement
The goal of the data curation team is to set up and implement a centralized set of procedures for the management of incoming data in the DEPENd Lab. At its inception, our goal was to implement a data curation system that provide ongoing checks on the quality of incoming data for the NeuroMAP and Momentum studies. However, we have since decided to try and generalize this data curation system into a more universal set of guidelines that should apply to any mid-to-large-scale humans subjects research study.
Ultimately, the Data Curation Hub should serve as a reference for:
How data ought to be processed at every stage of its “life”
Data Collection
Data Transfer
Data Validation
Data Preprocessing
Data Quality Control
Data Storage and Backup
How to edit this documentation to reflect the most up-to-date version of the data curation system.
Where to find data at different stages of processing
This data curation team will also oversee implementing these guidelines and organizes relevant information for reporting data quality in regular study meetings.
Ongoing Data Curation Tasks
Currently, the data curation guidelines outlined in this hub are under development. If you are interested in a list of tasks that are currently active, check out this Slite document.
