ABOUT
During this 2-hour NWU Research Conversation Session Michelle Willmers and Thomas King (both from the Centre for Innovation in Learning & Teaching, UCT) will share their experience in terms of opportunities that are arising as more datasets are becoming available in digital format, how to share data legally, ethically, and responsibily, and what the positive impact of data sharing is for researchers and research projects.- the preparation of raw research data for sharing;
- various terminologies such as privacy, confidentiality, and anonymity;
- the impact of clauses like "we will destroy data after the research project" and "not for commercial use" on data curation and potential future publication and sharing; and
- the potential positive impact of sharing data vs the potential of being scooped before publishing.
We invite all NWU researchers, students, and support staff to this opportunity to start an open conversation about actively engaging in Open Science in an informed way.
