Data management in perspective: the career profile of archaeologists
Laura Molloy, Kellie Snow, Stéphane Goldstein, Joy Davidson · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2011
The Data Management Skills Support Initiative (DaMSSI) has drawn together a range of short career profiles to illustrate the relevance of data management skills to four graduate professions represented by training projects of the JISC Managing Research Data programme 2009-13. These professions are: conservator; social science researcher; clinical psychologist and archaeologist. In addition, a further profile explains the role of data manager. Each profile demonstrates how the value of data management skills learned alongside other research skills during graduate and postgraduate study contributes to and underpins high-quality professional performance. This leaflet describes the fourth in this series of these profiles, covering the role of the archaeologist.
