</div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Hello list,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I was wondering if any of you know of any excellently organized and described open data sets with detailed read me files, OR if you know of any researchers who have created a data management manual/read me file and is willing to share it.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been getting questions in introductory data management presentations about what a data dictionary and read me file would look like and it'd be nice to be able to show an example.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
