A New DDI Guide for Beginners: “DDI Metadata Made Simple: Your Top Questions Answered”

Written by lyle | November 9, 2026

I am pleased to share a new DDI guide designed for beginners who collect, share, or reuse data : https://zenodo.org/records/24011961

Developed jointly by CDSP, CLOSER UK, and INIST-DORANUM, the guide provides practical answers to common questions about metadata and FAIR data management.

We hope you will find it useful and encourage you to share it with colleagues and researchers new to DDI. The guide is published under the CC BY licence. However, the illustrations remain the intellectual property of Pierre Buttin and are not covered by the licence.

All best,

Alina
