Drummond, Molly, de Quincey, Ed and Poole, Elizabeth (2023) Guidelines for researchers sharing large data sets.

This guide aims to summarise existing practice for researchers sharing and accessing large datasets, particularly for social media data containing sensitive information. It draws from multidisciplinary approaches to open research as many of these have been developed from existing research sharing and archival practices, as well as the work and considerations of other disciplines working with sensitive data. This guide is intended as a buildable summary of current best practice, containing additional considerations for researchers navigating new and developing legal and institutional frameworks contributing to the formation of research practice (for more detailed guidance please see resources list).
