There is a misconception in the research community that the use of secondary data does not entail legal considerations. Secondary data is an intellectual property of the data owner, so any use of that data may require the data owner’s permission or may be subject to certain terms and conditions. Therefore, this online workshop is specifically designed to highlight these issues and help you overcome these. In this two-day online workshop, participants will understand what needs to be taken into account when creating, using and sharing data. It will cover the following topics: What is secondary data?
