MANTRA
MANTRA was developed at EDINA and Data Library, University of Edinburgh, by a team of data librarians and an e-learning specialist, funded by the Jisc Managing Research Data Programme (2010-11).
The course is intended to increase researchers' awareness of data management issues. It supports statements about good practice in research data management with real life stories and scenarios, and is designed to be fun, relevant, useful, interactive and timely (FRUIT) for those pursuing a research project.
