UBC Data Bites: Creating a Data Dictionary for Research Projects (webinar) Online

Participants will learn how to:

  • Identify key components of a data dictionary, including variable names, definitions, formats, and units

  • Use templates and tools to build data dictionaries that promote transparency and reproducibility across research projects
