SWD – Strengthen, Widen, Deepen: this is how the consortium for the social, behavioral, educational and economic sciences defines its task within NFDI: to expand and integrate the existing infrastructure for research data management. In order to make socially relevant, especially sensitive, data available for research, KonsortSWD builds on proven science-related structures, especially the research data centers, accredited by the German Data Forum (RatSWD).
RatSWD is an elected body that articulates the needs of our communities and thus drives the user-oriented improvement of our infrastructure. The strength of our data infrastructure is the shared understanding that many data can only be made available for (secondary) use if they remain with the data providers. With their expertise, the data providers also ensure the highest possible quality of the data.
Workshop zu Forschungsdatenmanagement für die BMBF-Forschungsinitiative zum Erhalt der Artenvielfalt (FEdA)Researchers face the challenge of carrying out their work responsibly and transparently. If social science data is collected or processed for subsequent use, special precautions must be taken, e.g. to protect personal references in data and to embed data in its context of origin, to document it and thus make it comprehensible and interpretable.
In the workshop, we will provide an overview of the special features associated with the management and data sharing of social science data. We will focus in particular on data protection, the contextualisation/documentation of data sets and the secure storage and publication of data.
The workshop was offered by KonsortSWD (https://www.konsortswd.de/) for NFDI4Biodiversity (https://www.nfdi4biodiversity.org/de/) and the BMBF Research Initiative on Biodiversity Conservation (https://www.feda.bio/de/) and consists of presentations and exercises. In addition
participants were also given further information.
