Abstract:
|
The recently released National Research Council report, "Expanding Access to Research Data: Reconciling Risks and Opportunities," examines societal and technological conditions that have complicated the release of confidential statistical data to users. The report recommends a variety of approaches to reconcile the conflicting demands of making data widely available while protecting their confidentiality, such as providing data through multiple modes, tailored to the needs of different types of users; improving the utility and confidentiality protection of newer access modes; improving the efficiency of agency review processes; and measuring the level of research data use and the frequency with which confidentiality breaches occur. This session will bring together stakeholders who have not participated in the NRC panel's deliberations to offer their perspectives.
