📋 Checklist for Data Sharing #

Before sharing your research data, use the following checklist to ensure that you are following ICArEHB’s Data Management and Sharing policies:

Data Management Plan:

• Have I completed a DMP that outlines my approach to data collection, storage, sharing, and preservation?

• Is my DMP compliant with institutional and funder requirements?

FAIR Principles:

• Are my data findable, with clear metadata and a DOI or other unique identifier?

• Have I deposited my data in a trusted repository where they are accessible to others?

• Are my data formatted using standard protocols and described with standard vocabularies to ensure interoperability?

• Are my data accompanied by a clear, open license (e.g., CC-BY) that supports reuse?

Data Repositories:

• Have I selected a suitable repository for long-term preservation and public access to my data (e.g., OSF, Zenodo)?

• Have I checked whether my repository complies with funder and institutional mandates?

Ethical and Legal Considerations:

• Have I obtained informed consent from participants for data sharing and reuse?

• Have I anonymized any sensitive data to protect the privacy of participants, in compliance with GDPR?

• Have I ensured that my data do not infringe on any intellectual property rights?

Data Accessibility:

• Are my data available for reuse immediately after publication, or is there an embargo period?

• If there are restrictions on data access, have I clearly documented the reasons (e.g., proprietary or ethical concerns)?
