Type: article
Abstract: Technical debt refers to inefficiencies caused by prioritizing quick fixes over best practices in data management and processing. This poster highlights the negative consequences of technical debt in registry-based, medical research and outlines key points that data managers and researchers can use avoid technical debt in their own projects. This poster was created for researchers at the Norwegian Institute of Public health. However, our guidance is applicable to many research disciplines. A curated list of resources to help you avoid technical debt and improve your data management skills can be found at https://github.com/tsurudak/technical-debt
