Subject: The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management

 
The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management (2022 MIT Press, ed. by
Berez-Kroeker, McDonnell, Koller & Collister) is now available free and open
source at
https://direct.mit.edu/books/book/5244/The-Open-Handbook-of-Linguistic-Data-Ma
nagement.

The Handbook is a guide to principles and methods for the management,
archiving, sharing, and citing of linguistic research data, especially digital
data. “Doing language science” depends on collecting, transcribing,
annotating, analyzing, storing, and sharing linguistic research data. This
volume offers a guide to linguistic data management, engaging with current
trends toward the transformation of linguistics into a more data-driven and
reproducible scientific endeavor. It offers both principles and methods,
presenting the conceptual foundations of linguistic data management and a
series of case studies, each of which demonstrates a concrete application of
abstract principles in a current practice.

In part 1, contributors bring together knowledge from information science,
archiving, and data stewardship relevant to linguistic data management. Topics
covered include implementation principles, archiving data, finding and using
datasets, and the valuation of time and effort involved in data management.
Part 2 presents snapshots of practices across various subfields, with each
chapter presenting a unique data management project with generalizable
guidance for researchers. The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data Management is
an essential addition to the toolkit of every linguist, guiding researchers
toward making their data FAIR: Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and
Reusable.

Also available is an online companion course to the Handbook, at
http://linguisticdatamanagement.org. This self-paced course is designed
provide readers an opportunity to delve more deeply into the concepts
presented in the first 13 chapters in The Open Handbook of Linguistic Data
Management. 

Each course lesson provides: a link to the relevant chapter, a brief synopsis
of the chapter, highlighted core keywords and concepts, so you can ensure you
understand the important points, activities and opportunities to practice what
you've learned, suggestions for how implement the concepts in your own career,
research and study, quizzes to test your understanding of the concepts, and
links to the Data Management Use Case chapters that are especially relevant.
