Data Organization Made Easy: Comprehensive Folder Structure Template for Early Career Life/Natural Science Researcher

In this coffee lecture, Jeanne, one of the co-authors, presents the modular Folder Structure Template (FST) specifically designed for (early career) life science researchers. It provides not only folders to sort your files into, but also comprehensive guidance and templates to record metadata, and thus serves as a starting point towards conscious data organization using RDM best practices for individuals. The session also provides the opportunity to ask questions around the FST specifically and data organization in general.
The FST is openly available (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15835125) and described by the accompanying paper (DOI: 10.5334/dsj-2025-035).
