- Characteristics: the course will address the importance of having a reliable database and the impact of missing data depending on their different types, with regard to assessing the external validity of our data. The course will have a strong practical focus and will be structured in two parts: a first part on the design and creation of a good database, using Excel, Jamovi or REDCap (the most recommended and accessible option for IRBLleida researchers), and a second part on initial data cleaning and validation, as well as data cleaning or correction when necessary, which is efficient to carry out as a preliminary step before any statistical analysis. The course will also introduce the FAIR data principles in the context of open science and aspects related to data documentation.
