Session description
Research funders, institutions, and academic journals increasingly require that raw data, where possible, be shared openly through public repositories. This boosts transparency and reproducibility of research, but also unlocks new possibilities through re-use, i.e. secondary data analysis.
When data is reused for purposes beyond its original intent, it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. What’s more, by combining datasets from different sources, researchers can uncover insights no single team would have been able to achieve alone, or build consensus on complex scientific questions.
Yet, making sense of someone else’s data isn’t always easy. What are the challenges of interpreting and integrating datasets generated by others? Why is it crucial that the FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Resuable, are followed when data are shared?
In this session, we’ll hear from two experienced practitioners of secondary data analysis. Join us to learn how FAIR data can lead to new discoveries — and what it takes to make that happen.
