# Best Practices

The pages in this section collect the habits and references that tend to make SWZ projects easier to run well. Some of them are local, such as training and publication workflow. Others come from broader communities, such as NFDI-MatWerk or partner institutions. Taken together, they give a sense of what the group should treat as normal professional practice rather than optional cleanup at the end.
