The handbook is intended to train users of development data how to handle data effectively, efficiently, and ethically. "In the DIME Analytics Data Handbook, the DIME team has produced an extraordinary public good: a detailed, comprehensive, yet easy-to-read manual for how to manage a data-oriented research project from beginning to end. It offers everything from big-picture guidance on the determinants of high-quality empirical research, to specific practical guidance on how to implement specific workflows-and includes computer code! I think it will prove durably useful to a broad range of researchers in international development and beyond, and I learned new practices that I plan on adopting in my own research group.?? -Marshall Burke, Associate Professor, Department of Earth System Science, and Deputy Director, Center on Food Security and the Environment, Stanford University "Data are the essential ingredient in any research or evaluation project, yet there has been too little attention to standardized practices to ensure high-quality data collection, handling, documentation, and exchange. Development Research in Practice: The DIME Analytics Data Handbook seeks to fill that gap with practical guidance and tools, grounded in ethics and efficiency, for data management at every stage in a research project. This excellent resource sets a new standard for the field and is an essential reference for all empirical researchers.?? -Ruth E. Levine, PhD, CEO, IDinsight "Development Research in Practice: The DIME Analytics Data Handbook is an important resource and a must-read for all development economists, empirical social scientists, and public policy analysts. Based on decades of pioneering work at the World Bank on data collection, measurement, and analysis, the handbook provides valuable tools to allow research teams to more efficiently and transparently manage their work flows-yielding more credible analytical conclusions as a result.?? -Edward Miguel, Oxfam Professor in Environmental and Resource Economics and Faculty Director of the Center for Effective Global Action, University of California, Berkeley "The DIME Analytics Data Handbook is a must-read for any data-driven researcher looking to create credible research outcomes and policy advice. By meticulously describing detailed steps, from project planning via ethical and responsible code and data practices to the publication of research papers and associated replication packages, the DIME handbook makes the complexities of transparent and credible research easier.?? -Lars Vilhuber, Data Editor, American Economic Association, and Executive Director, Labor Dynamics Institute, Cornell University. 517 $aDevelopment Research in Practice 606 $aBusiness$xData processing$xManagement 606 $aData curation 606 $aEconomic development$xResearch$xMethodology 615 0$aBusiness$xData processing$xManagement. 615 0$aData curation. 615 0$aEconomic development$xResearch$xMethodology. 676 $a658.4038 700 $aBjärkefur$b Kristoffer$01490492 701 $aCardoso de Andrade$b Luíza$01490493 701 $aDaniels$b Benjamin$01490494 701 $aJones$b Maria Ruth$01490495 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794504303321 996 $aDevelopment research in practice$93711904 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02851nam 2200613 a 450 001 9911004720703321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9781613447963 010 $a1613447965 010 $a9780857090959 010 $a085709095X 035 $a(CKB)3410000000000028 035 $a(EBL)1584692 035 $a(OCoLC)867317466 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000746342 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12238637 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000746342 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10861790 035 $a(PQKB)11612465 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1584692 035 $a(PPN)240178076 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)88873290 035 $a(FRCYB88873290)88873290 035 $a(EXLCZ)993410000000000028 100 $a20130212d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHandbook of advanced radioactive waste conditioning technologies /$fedited by Michael I.

Radioactive waste long-term performance assessment and knowledge management techniques. 330 $aRadioactive wastes are generated from a wide range of sources, including the power industry, and medical and scientific research institutions, presenting a range of challenges in dealing with a diverse set of radionuclides of varying concentrations. Conditioning technologies are essential for the encapsulation and immobilisation of these radioactive wastes, forming the initial engineered barrier required for their transportation, storage and disposal. The need to ensure the long term performance of radioactive waste forms is a key driver of the development of advanced conditioning technologies 410 0$aWoodhead Publishing in energy ;$vno. 12. 606 $aRadioactive waste canisters$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 606 $aRadioactive waste disposal$xEquipment and supplies$vHandbooks, manuals, etc 615 0$aRadioactive waste canisters 615 0$aRadioactive waste disposal$xEquipment and supplies 676 $a621.4838 701 $aOjovan$b Michael I$0627277 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911004720703321 996 $aHandbook of advanced radioactive waste conditioning technologies$94391934 997 $aUNINA
