# C-CoMP Data Management Handbook

<figure><img src="/files/qdPn2t1pw6ZXAkNeVOqk" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Thank you for visiting the C-CoMP Data Management Handbook!&#x20;

This "living" handbook was developed to support C-CoMP's [open science policy](https://ccomp-stc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/C-CoMP_OpenScience_Policy_9.16.22_v1.pdf) and provide efficient, data stream dependent instructions for storing, organizing, naming, and submitting data to publicly accessible repositories. We strive to keep it updated over time.&#x20;

We are sharing this handbook as a community resource to:&#x20;

* Describe C-CoMP's data management and open science efforts&#x20;
* Guide other efforts to support interdisciplinary data management and sharing

If you find this handbook useful or have questions/feedback, please let us know by sending an email to Laura Gray (<laura.gray@whoi.edu>), C-CoMP's Digital Coordinator and Data Manager.&#x20;
