Data Practices, Data Management and FAIR Principles: An Educational Scenario by the EnTIRE project

Members of The Embassy of Good Science have developed a set of eight scenarios for educational purposes and to stimulate strategic thinking about issues in research ethics and research integrity.

This scenario presents a hypothetical narrative concerning data practices and data management and their links with research ethics and research integrity.

It focuses on issues regarding:

• Data protection and consent;
• FAIR principles for data management and stewardship;
• Data copyright and data citation;
• Data for personal research use.

It is interspersed with questions and resource suggestions that help guide researchers, research ethics committees ('RECs'), research integrity offices ('RIOs') and research administrators in their deliberations concerning the research integrity issues raised by the narrative.
