Sensitive data refers to data that needs protection from unauthorized disclosure. It's important to safeguard access to sensitive research data, and any sharing of it should be carefully planned.

Research data and datasets are becoming increasingly important in the scientific process. As more researchers make their data open and reusable, proper citation is crucial to give credit to the authors and acknowledge the data origin.

Metadata, or "data about data", is a critical component of research data management that provides information about a dataset, object, or resource, including its format and collection details.

Data is the pillar of integrity in published research. How do journal editors detect integrity issues? How can publishers support integrity? A recent seminar for HKUST researchers brought up a good discussion.

Datasets cannot speak for themselves. It is the way that you describe your research data and the methodology that matters.
