Data Documentation and Metadata

Data Documentation

Data documentation will ensure that your data will be understood and interpreted by any user.  It will explain how your data were created, the context for the data, the structure of the data and their contents, and any manipulations to the data.  

Best Practices for Data Sharing and Archiving

Why Should I Share Data and Code

  1. It is required by some journal publishers (e.g., Nature), and funding agencies (e.g., the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, etc.). It is expected other funding agencies will also require researchers to share data produced during the course of their funded research based on a recently released Office of Science and Technology Policy Memo.

On Tuesday, Nov. 29 at 7 a.m., to help combat increasing fraud and attacks on our systems, ITS will implement a change in how you authenticate with Duo. Please follow the steps below:  

I keep receiving an automated message to enroll my badge, despite having already done so. What does this mean?

You may have already enrolled your badge, but might still receive this message from Imprivata:

You recently enrolled a badge with Imprivata. If you believe this is an error, contact your help desk immediately.

Typically, staff tend to wear multiple badges at once on their lanyards. The best way to resolve this would be to separate the badges because if multiple cards are brought close to the reader, it cannot easily distinguish which card you want to register. If you continue to experience this issue, despite only using one badge, please contact the Service Desk. 

Imprivata was installed on the computer I use, but I do not have a registered badge. How should I log in?

You have two options:

  1. You can still log in using your CWID by typing CUMC\yourCWID in the username field, and then typing in your password. 

  2. Speak to your practice manager to request an Imprivata license.
