Thank you for your patience

Our Senior Curator Dessi Kirilova & Katie Mika (Harvard Libraries) are talking "Securely Managing and Publishing Sensitive Data" at a free Harvard Webinar Wed. Nov. 15, 12pm
https://libcal.countway.harvard.edu/event/11066807

"[We] will review [using] Harvard Dataverse and Qualitative Data Repository for appropriate data sharing. We will demonstrate how the deposit process works and provide examples of nuanced data sharing possibilities, including of sensitive data, securely shared under varying levels of access control."

Securely Managing and Publishing Sensitive Data

Many funding agencies and publishers require researchers to publicly share data from their completed projects. If your research involves human participants, this requirement can be...

McGill University organized a great workshop series on #de-identifying #researchData -- 2 events on quant, 2 events on qual, each with one foundational workshop and one tool-oriented one. I presented the foundational qual one (WS3), but all worth checking out. All slides and recordings (incl. French translation) available https://www.mcgill.ca/drs/training #dataSharing #dataLibs
