Sensitive Data

Some data (e.g. identifiable data, sensitive personal information) may require anonymisation, pseudo-anonymisation, or partial publication; consult ethics committees and follow regulations.

Lib4RI recommendation: Contact the Lib4Ri RDM team to discuss which ethics committee(s) your project may be subject to, or to put you into contact with the institutional ethics committees/contact persons.
