Managing Research Data: Gravitational Waves – Final Report

The MRD-GW project produced a final report which acts as an extended case-study of the way that data is managed in ‘big science’ projects. The canonical version is available at arXiv. Or you can download an alternative version with nicer fonts and a couple of formatting tweaks, or (why not?) a US Letter version; each of these has identical content to the arXiv version, but with slightly different formatting and pagination.

The URL http://purl.org/nxg/projects/mrd-gw/report is a long-term URL for the report, and currently redirects to this page.
