Data Management Practices
Questions for discussion
- Should research data belong to researchers rather than to research
institutions?
- Should data recording practices be standardized to facilitate sharing
and monitoring? What recording practices could be standardized?
- What interpretation practices could be standardized? How does your
laboratory verify the accuracy and validity of data before its disclosure
or use in grant proposals and publications?
- Who should pay the cost of sharing data? Who should have access
to the data?
- How long should researchers be able to withhold data to allow time
to protect ownership claims? How long should research data be stored?
