Channel: Iowa State University Digital Press
Date: 2022-03-10

This month’s café will take a closer look at Iowa State’s data set disclosure process—a unique screening process used at ISU to ensure that research data published on DataShare doesn’t contain valuable IP or violate contracts, policy, law, or ethics. Megan O’Donnell, Data Services Librarian will be joined by Sarah Kaatz, Director of the Office of Research Ethics, Brooke Langlitz, Associate Director of the Office of Research Ethics, Craig Forney, Assistant Director of the Office of Innovation Commercialization, and Beth Pieper, Program Specialist at Ames Laboratory to discuss how this process came to be and how the university, funders, and researchers benefit from it.
