捆绑SM社区

Navigating the complex landscape of research data standards and data repositories can be challenging, particularly when taking into account privacy and cybersecurity concerns when using cloud solutions. As a support to 捆绑SM社区 researchers across all disciplines, IT Services, Research Ethics, Libraries, and VPRI will hold drop-in hours where researchers will be able to discuss any questions related to their research data and research software.

Some topics may include:听data sharing; (meta)data standards; cybersecurity; data privacy; data ownership; data curation; software vetting; data management; cloud directive.

When: January 30th, 2024 from 2pm to 3pm

Where: MS Teams

What kind of questions can I ask?

I collaborate with researchers across different universities. Is it secure to use X solution to share data?

I work with big data and heavily rely on high performance computers. What is the best repository for my data?

I work with human participants and I need to record my interviews. Can I use software X to record them, and software Y to upload them to an IT approved cloud solution?

I would like to use a software that is not yet approved by IT Services. Do I need to go through a vetting process?

I need to transcribe interviews using X software. Can I use that software to perform transcriptions of the recordings and/or content analysis?

I am planning my project鈥檚 data management. What are data models and standards most commonly used in my field? Where can I find this information?

I want to conduct anonymous surveys using X solution. Will this be a secure option?

I have a project with an industry partner that would like to use X software to manage the project鈥檚 sensitive data. What are the IP and privacy implications?
