This record contains a collection of training reference guides developed to complement the Introductory Research Data Management Course - Enhancing Longitudinal Data Sharing course, delivered by the UK Data Service (UKDS) as part of an initial Population Research UK (PRUK) project. These materials focus on key aspects of research data management, covering anonymisation, documentation, and formatting to ensure high-quality, reusable data.

These training reference guides have been created to support trainers in delivering effective research data management training.
