CESSDA ERIC (the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives European Infrastructure Consortium) has created an Expert Tour Guide on Data Management. The guide is aimed at social science researchers who are in an early stage of practising research data management. It pays special attention for instance on the processing of both qualitative and quantitative data, ethical issues and the processing of personal data and data protection.

This guide adds to a growing number of online courses on data management. See for instance this MOOC on Research Data Management and Sharing.
