Data Horror Week: Too many cooks spoil the broth (data)

Now it has become clear what the saying “too many cooks spoil the broth” means. We have several researchers in this same project, and we are all working on the same data. Someone unfortunate (not me) touched the raw data file and made some adjustments to it. There is no longer any original data.
Likewise, it is somehow unclear who has done what and when with the data sets. How on earth we will get a valid description about data processing in a scientific journal now, and do we even want this study to be transparent? Folks, keep the raw data separately and the rules of the game clear.
Data Horror Week 25.-29.10.2021. Stories published during the week are fictional. Read all the horror stories on the Research Data Services website.
