Advice on data management is always more useful when it is discipline-specific. The Archaeology Data Service has produced a modular guide, Managing Research Data in Archaeology, that does just that.

Modules cover the following issues as they relate to archaeological research data:

• The data life cycle
• Rights management issues
• eTheses and supplementary digital data
• Archiving
• Data management plans
• Data management on post-doctoral research projects

The guide was produced as part of the JISC-funded Data Train project.
