#  Data sharing

In general all data produced by LIBRA will be securely stored at the CRG by
the Bioinformatics Unit (Dr. Ponomarenko, Head of the Unit). Nevertheless,
depending on which type of data we process the sharing plans change.

Each LIBRA WP should have access to the data through ID and passwords.

  1. For Survey monkey staff data, CRG will securely store data and give access through ID and passwords first to P7, P5 and P6 for them to analyse it. Once the data are analysed it will be shared to all LIBRA partners most likely via LIBRA Professional Dropbox. 

  

  2. For Project Implicit data, CRG will have access to the data recorded and stored by Project Implicit at the US using a password protected web account. Project Implicit will analyse the data and give access to the CRG Project Manager. Project Implicit is only allowed to store and analyse data. Further analysis and utilisation of these data is responsibility of LIBRA. After a detailed second analysis of the data it will be shared through ID and passwords to the LIBRA partners. 

  

  3. Data from each LIBRA IO will be analysed by ASDO and after that shared to all LIBRA WP though ID and passwords. 

  

  

Data sets cannot be entirely shared to the public in the original format so no
data can be traced back in some way (e.g. female PI researcher in an institute
where there is only few female PIs). Thus, data made public through
publications, news on the website and similar will be in formats that protect
anonymity. For example, research data made public can be visualised as
histograms, thus informing but preserving anonymity.

#  Data Archiving and Preservation

The raw data will be archived 20 years and the intermediate data will be
preserved for at least 2 years more after the end of the project at CRG’s data
repository. Raw and intermediate data stored at the UPF – Open Access
Repository will be previously selected depending on its output and always
guarantying anonymity.

There are no associated costs for archiving the intermediate data at the
infrastructure website of CRG since the amount of data is not big enough. The
costs for archiving data results at the open access repository are also
included in the ordinary fees CRG pays to the UPF library. The cost for
storing and managing data by Dr. Hermoso and Dr. Ponomarenko (Bioinformatics
Unit) still have to be determine once the amount of data and data sets we are
dealing with are clear. These costs are all eligible since we are
participating in the ORD pilot experiment.
