Reusability

Radboud University provides an extensive guideline on how to obtain and register informed consent, with specific recommendations depending on how consent is obtained (paper-based, online form or oral), what the content of informed consent procedures should be and how to store them. Besides, examples and sample documents are provided to facilitate the process for researchers.

Utrecht University has developed a video tutorial with tips and resources to find existing data. It guides the viewer through different repositories and shows how to use them. The video is embedded in a page where the main advantages of reusing data are summarised and a list of potential repositories and data sources is compiled, in addition to those provided in the video.

The University of Oxford has developed a research integrity checklist which compiles all the different requirements set by applicable legislation (e.g. GDPR), the University regulation, domain specific codes as well as project-specific requirements (e.g. research involving animals, overseas-based research, etc.). The checklist is meant to be used at the start of the research to ensure compliance, but also as a tool “to engage in a broader dialogue about research integrity and good practice in research”.
