DESCRIPTION:You work with data all the time\, but how well do you trust it?
  Various problems with data integrity\, from formatting accidents to inten
 tional alteration or fabrication\, can adversely affect research outcomes.
  Learning to recognize these problems is key to producing reliable and rep
 licable research.\n\nThis introductory workshop will cover four categories
  of failure that compromise data integrity: Poor Sampling Strategy\, Inten
 tional Alteration/Suppression\, Technical Corruption\, and Metadata/Versio
 n Drift. Through concrete examples and hands-on practice\, participants wi
 ll gain a critical understanding of why data integrity is not just a techn
 ical detail\, but an ethical and civil rights imperative.\n\nIf you need p
 ersonalized assistance with a data analysis\, programming\, or a coding pr
 oject\, consider booking a consultation with one of our librarian-experts.
  Learn more about our services to support programming and coding and for w
 orking with data.\n\nAll sessions are free to GW students\, faculty\, staf
 f\, and alumni. GW has an institutional commitment to ensuring that all of
  our programs and events are accessible for all individuals. If you requir
 e any accommodations to participate in this event\, please contact library
