Managing sensitive research data at the University of Bristol: from planning to publication

Ethically sharing data from studies involving human participants
The sharing of data from studies involving human participants is growing and researchers are increasingly aware and supportive of this requirement and can be keen to deposit their data in our University repository.
However, their ethics paperwork often shows a different story – sharing wasn’t planned for at the beginning of the project and it was not clear to participants that data would be deposited and potentially shared. Over time we have developed and refined a workflow – firstly to ensure that no data is deposited and/or shared against the consent of the participant and, recently, to help researchers take these requirements into account at the planning stages.

Join the RDM Directory
Adding a directory of research data management specialists to the N8 CIR website will be an important part of developing the network.
If you would like to be listed in this directory, please send your contact details, job title and a brief description of your areas of interests/expertise (1-2 sentences) to: clare.liggins@manchester.ac.uk
Communications
