Data Entry Guidelines

We’ve recently published a new output on how to ensure data entry consistency in Humanities and cultural data projects.

You can find this on the Data page of our website. The guide is also downloadable here.

Making data entry consistent is one of the most important but complex tasks when establishing a new database, particularly when entries are crowdsourced from volunteers or built with a large team over time. However, consistent, clear and unambiguous data entry is vital for computational analysis, which opens up cultural datasets to a wide range of new possibilities.
