Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Meyer (2018) suggests you should be planning this from the very start, and throughout, your research project. She shares some tips for how to ethically share data.
DON’T promise to destroy your data
DON’T promise not to share data
DON’T promise that research analyses of the collected data will be limited to certain topics
DO get consent to retain and share data
DO incorporate data-retention and -sharing clauses into IRB templates
DO be thoughtful when considering risks of re-identification
DO consider working with a data repository
DO be thoughtful when selecting a data repository
These are good baseline considerations as you begin preparing to share data. This OER will break down some of these tips in the following sections on Data Curation. ----------------------
Activity: Construct a data ethics plan
Take some time to complete some of the Data Ethics Canvas worksheet (link to worksheet) by the Open Data Institute (ODI). If you don’t actively have a data project right now, respond to the worksheet in regards to the type of data and research you’re interested in. The activity should get you to constructively think about what you may have to plan for to accommodate responsible sharing and reuse of research data. Look over the circles, especially the green circles in the bottom row.
Questions to consider afterwards, based on your experience of this worksheet:
What was this experience like completing the circles in this worksheet?
If you’re with others, discuss how your answers may be different or similar between your disciplines, depending on what sorts of data you use in your field.
Did you find any of these circles particularly relevant for the type of data you might encounter in your subject area?
