Publishing Sensitive Data

This session focuses on the principles and practical steps for publishing sensitive research data in repositories. The session focusses on how to apply the core principle, “as open as possible, as restricted as necessary”. It clarifies what can be shared openly – such as anonymized and aggregated data – and explains the concept of publishing data with access restrictions, especially datasets containing personal information. Attendees will gain practical guidance on reducing risk to participants, legal responsibilities, and best practices for ensuring data reusability and compliance.
