Hi all,

 

Now that most of us have started receiving datasets, what are you doing in terms of quality checking of data? We have just received a large zip file of data which consists of about 200MB+ of .log files. Without knowing the research behind the data (data is often submitted before the publication), we can’t really say whether these log files are by product of data or actual data itself.

 

We also don’t want to go back to the researchers with all these questions, they are already annoyed enough.

 

Any ideas/tips/tricks/sharing of experience highly appreciated.

 

Best wishes,

Masud
