Data Management   Recording Data (cont.) 4 of 9
    To ensure the authenticity and integrity of data when recording, researchers, scholars, and students should strive to:
  • Institute record keeping procedures that allow duplicate copies of entries to be made whenever possible
  • Write legibly in blue or black ink, preferably in a bound notebook with pre-numbered pages
  • Record data consecutively (no skipped pages or spaces), dating and initialing each entry.
