Demystifying the Data Anonymization Process: Myths and Best Practices

Wednesday, June 29, 2022 | 2:00 pm EDT

Many well-meaning and ambitious researchers get tangled in the process of data anonymization. A thoughtful approach to anonymization is critical to achieving regulatory compliance, protecting individual privacy while maintaining the usefulness of the data for other researchers. What is required of ethical researchers to anonymize data? How can anonymization be applied in a way that is not practical and effective researchers? Planning for data protection across the research lifecycle both mitigates risks to research subjects and facilitates sharing of data for replication and reuse. During this webinar, Dr. Micah Altman will share myths about information privacy that deter researchers from sharing data. He will also share selected best practices for anonymization and the treatment of personally identifiable information in datasets.

Catalyzing Open Science Globally: Use Cases and Translated Resources

Wednesday, July 20, 2022 | 10:00 am EDT

Communities of researchers from diverse communities and cultures around the globe use the Open Science Framework (OSF) to support their research workflows. Having support materials and guides in their native languages is critical to aiding them in the implementation of open science best practices. A passionate group of community members has spent countless hours to translate OSF guides into their native languages to help onboard researchers to practicing openness and transparency in their research. Join to learn more as we explore an overview of the translation help guide movement, reasons behind our community member's motivation to help translate help guides, the importance of and impact of translated OSF help guides from different countries, and case studies on how the OSF is used in different countries.
