Open Access to Research Data in an Institutional Repository and Protection of Personal Data and Right to Privacy

Summary/Abstract: The article is a voice in a discussion about the principles of the Open Access Policy for publicly funded research data, which under the Act of 11 August 2021 on open data and reuse of public sector information is to be developed by the minister responsible for higher education and science and presented to scientific entities. The material makes several recommendations for open access to research data. Entities maintaining institutional repositories of research data, in particular universities, should take a number of organisational and technical measures in cooperation with personal data controllers to ensure respect for the right to privacy of research participants. In addition to data anonymisation and pseudonymisation, access to research data involving personal data should be restricted where justified. Factors that should influence the level of restrictions include the sensitivity of the data and the risk of re-identification. The principles of such controlled access should be transparent for researchers, potential users, as well as personal data administrators, and research participants themselves. The optimisation of the process of access to research data should have a positive impact on the development of research while ensuring the adequate protection of the right to privacy.
