A web resource for research skills

I came across an interesting site at Duke University with protocols, guidelines and examples to support various kinds of research.  Here, for example, is a nice tutorial on how to set up a spreadsheet of data so that it is easy to transfer to a statistics package:

There are many topics covering Designing, Conducting and Reporting a variety of research designs.

Enjoy!
