Data Sharing for Greater Scientific Transparency – Association for Psychological Science – APS

"If you plan to share data that you have yet to collect, consider these measures in both your consent form and your institutional review board (IRB) submission:  

• In your consent form, state that the data will not be destroyed and might be shared.  
• Don’t promise that research analyses of the collected data will be limited to certain topics. 
• Get consent to retain and share data. Disclose who will have access to the data (e.g., other researchers at the same institution, researchers at other institutions, government agencies, the general public, commercial entities) and the purposes for which the data may be reused (e.g., reanalysis and replication, new analyses). 
• Incorporate data-retention and data-sharing clauses into IRB templates. 
• Consider the risks of reidentification. 
• Choose a data repository judiciously, given that different repositories have different guidelines and privacy settings and might be more suitable for some data sets than others (see Meyer, 2018). ..."
