Licensing data for reuse
Consider this scenario:
You’ve found a dataset you (or your client) are interested in.
You’ve downloaded it.
Excellent!
But do you know what you (or your client) can and cannot do with the data?
The answer lies in data licensing. Licensing is critical to enabling data to be
reused and cited.

AusGOAL (Australian Governments Open Access and Licensing Framework) is:
• An open access and licensing framework based on the international suite of
Creative Commons licences.
• Designed to help select the least restrictive licence to apply to published
datasets and other works
• A common approach to data licensing across research and government.
• Recommended licensing system for data publishing for ANDS partners. See
AusGOAL - ANDS Guide.
• Research data licensing FAQs.

Sharing Sensitive Data
Two major categories of sensitive data are:
Human data (eg health and personal data, secret or sacred practices); or
Ecological data (may place vulnerable species at risk).
Given the nature of this type of data, you might expect that it can’t be shared
and reused. But in many cases, it can be.

ANDS Guide to publishing and sharing sensitive data
Outlines best practice for the publication and sharing of sensitive research
data in the Australian context.
• confidentialising your human and sensitive ecological data
• what's legal
• what to include in a consent form requesting data publication and sharing
• sharing sensitive data that you did not collect
• making data discoverable: metadata
• conditional access to data: what is it; how do I do it?
• licensing your data
• depositing your data
• a comprehensive guide on most things you need to know about publishing
sensitive data.

Funders
Responsible sharing of sensitive data is required or encouraged by peak bodies
and leading publishers in human research. Check out:
• Section 3.2.2 of the NHMRC National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human
Research.
• ARC Discovery Program Funding Rules - applicants must now outline plans
for the storage, access and reuse of data.
• Wellcome Trust joint statement on data sharing - to which NHMRC is a
signatory.
Publishers
• PLOS journals policy on making all data available.
• Nature publishing group journals require supporting data to be available to
editors and reviewers at the time of submission, preferrably via public
repositories.

Sharing Sensitive Data
Imagine you are either a researcher or a participant in a health data
survey:
Participant: what questions might you first ask the researcher about
intended sharing and reuse of the survey data?
Researcher: What responses would you need to prepare to anticipate
participants questions about publishing “their data for all the world to see”?

You don’t need any previous experience in data analysis to do the course.
