Should the research stop earlier than planned and you are affected in any way we will tell you and explain why.

Any data collected about you in the online questionnaire will be stored online in a form protected by passwords and other relevant security processes and technologies.

Data collected may be shared in an anonymised form to allow reuse by the research team and other third parties. These anonymised data will not allow any individuals or their institutions to be identified or identifiable.

13. Will I be recorded, and how will the recorded media be used?

You will not be recorded in any way other than your input to the questionnaire without separate permission being gained from you.

The questionnaire will ask you about your opinions and current practices in relation to RDM. Your views and experience are just what the project is interested in exploring.

Results of the research will be published. You will not be identified in any report or publication. Your institution will not be identified in any report or publication. If you wish to be given a copy of any reports resulting from the research, please ask us to put you on our circulation list.

16. Who is organising and funding the research?

The project is a partnership involving Dr Andrew Cox and Dr Stephen Pinfield of the University of Sheffield (UK), Dr Mary Anne Kennan of Charles Sturt University (Australia), and Dr Liz Lyon of Pittsburgh University (USA).
