The collected data needs to kept safe and secure, requiring access to good storage and sharing facilities.
For researches at the Radboudumc, the Digital Research Environment (DRE) is the preferred place for temporary storage of your data during the analysis phase of your study. This is a virtual environment that enables researchers to work sustainably and safe throughout all phases of their research; it enables you to import, combine, edit, optimize, save, analyze, archive and share research data with researchers inside and outside the Radboudumc. Working in the DRE allows researchers to comply with the applicable guidelines regarding safe and sustainable collection of research data due to the presence of (amongst others) regulated access, user roles and data safety.
Note that the DRE is not a data repository. For long term storage and sharing your data for reuse in other studies, please refer to the phase 'Archive & Share'.
Tools that can be used during this phase
Also useful
During this phase, data can also be stored in data repositories that offer restricted/under embargo access (see the phase 'Archive & Share' for examples of suitable data repositories). Storing your data in a data repository guarantees that your data is protected from loss or damage. After publication, the embargo can be lifted, making the data quickly accessible for other researchers.
More information on data reuse, informed consent, ethics, privacy and safety can be found on this RDM webpage by Radboud University.
