Restricted data management: The current practice and the future
In this brief article in Journal of Privacy and Confidentiality, Jang et al. of Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at University of Michigan review the current approach of researchers towards restricted data management and how it may need to evolve given certain challenges. They offer this review in the scope of increasing demands for FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) data in research and journal communities. After a brief introduction, the authors discuss three main elements of managing restricted date: data use agreements, disclose review, and training. While the Five Safes framework is effective under this scope, the authors concludes that such "safeguards could generate unintended challenges to certain groups of individuals (e.g., institutional approval that could exclude researchers without institutional affiliation) or in different areas (e.g., rigorous output checking that requires extensive insights from experts)." They add that organizations may need develop more thoughtful and standardized data management policies that still remain flexible under the scope of FAIR data.
