survey & data management systems

Both when conducting a survey of our own and when handling secondary data, we have to handle a vast amount of data.

We will now consider how we can ensure our data is managed efficiently and effectively. We will discuss two distinct issues:

- Firstly, systems which can help us manage the survey process and
- Secondly, the organization and documentation of data and data depositing, broadly known as data management.
