Research Data Curation Workflow
Systematize research dataset intake, compliance, and publication workflows
What You Can Do
Automate the curation of research datasets by generating standardized metadata, performing compliance verification, and producing quality assessments. This skill standardizes your data documentation process, ensures datasets meet regulatory requirements, and prepares them for repository publication—reducing manual work and improving consistency across your research organization.
Features
Analyzes dataset files and generates complete, standardized metadata including data dictionaries, field descriptions, and schema specifications
Checks datasets against regulatory frameworks (HIPAA, GDPR, FAIR principles) and institutional requirements, flagging issues before publication
Evaluates data completeness, validity, structure, and documentation quality on a standardized scale with actionable improvement recommendations
Creates comprehensive README files, data dictionaries, methodology notes, and usage guides tailored to your dataset
Guides datasets through multi-step publication workflows with automated checklist generation and requirement verification
Processes multiple datasets simultaneously, generating consolidated assessment reports and managing bulk documentation tasks
Creates detailed logs of all curation decisions, compliance checks, and modifications for reproducibility and institutional records
