NAECR Knowledge event highlights best practices, considerations of making data publicly available
|
|
For early childhood researchers, sharing a study’s findings with the public is a key element of their work.
But a myriad of considerations can sometimes make the process confusing.
More than a dozen early childhood researchers gathered Oct. 29 for the NAECR Knowledge event, “Making Your Data Publicly Available.”

Leslie Delserone and Erica DeFrain of University Libraries joined Jeffrey Stevens, associate professor of psychology, to lead a discussion about best practices for making research data publicly available.
They covered various topics to be considered before making research data public, including registering studies, archiving and backing up data, and appropriate and inappropriate times to share data. They also discussed related Institutional Review Board issues and implications for publication, such as journal requirements.
Sara Frizzell and Rachel Wenzl from Research Compliance Services shared information and answered questions about IRB guidelines and policies concerning the public release of research findings.
NAECR Networking and NAECR Knowledge are an ongoing series of networking and training events designed to enhance early childhood research across the NU system.
The next event will be in February 2020, with a NAECR Knowledge presentation on addressing and using publicly available data sets.
For more information on NAECR activities, contact Sommer Fousek, project coordinator, at 402-472-3743, or
