- Basic Module
One of the most important goals of open access publication of research data is to ensure that this data is prepared in such a way that it can be reused by other researchers as easily as possible. In reality, however, both in the field of economics and in the field of research, much more data is still being generated than is being reused. This is often due to a lack of knowledge about how and where to search for this data. This presentation will therefore show you ways to search for and find existing research data, as well as rules you should follow when reusing research data.
Participants will receive an overview of the most important online search portals for research data. In addition, they will learn simple selection and evaluation criteria for good research data (e.g. description of the data, documentation, etc.), which will also help them to improve the quality of their own research data.
