By the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Know what checks to perform and how to implement them in practice
- Learn how to improve clarity of data policies and guidance to authors (especially in terms of which standards and repositories to use)
- Gain practical guidance on making Availability Statements clearer and more rigorous
