of Use" - valid from 24.04.2007 -
PDF
version
The Central Archive for Empirical Social Research (GESIS-ZA) is a
department of GESIS.
The GESIS-ZA archives scientific data and document stocks, especially from survey
research, and makes this material available for further use.
The archive holding includes the data depositor’s original data and
records as well as additional GESIS-ZA material, which is the result of
standardised documentation and processing (e.g. Codebook, adjusted data
sets, etc.).
Data and documents are exclusively made available on the basis of these
regulations for use.
In the context of the international archive convention, users living
outside Germany are asked to direct their requests regarding data to their
home archive first.
As far as not explicitly indicated differently, the GESIS-ZA makes data and
documents available only for scientific analysis carried out by academic
research and teaching. Institutes and persons outside academic research and
doctrine can apply for provision in written form.
The acquisition of data and documents is done within the limits)
of access categories (please see 3.). The respective data depositor
determines access limitations.
Independent of these access limitations for the use of data and
documents, everybody is allowed to look at the documents – as far as not
decided differently.
The provision of data and documents is regulated by the following access
categories. They are noted in the GESIS-ZA Data
Holding Catalogue, too.
|
Category 0 |
Data and
documents are released for everybody. |
|
Category A |
Data and
documents are released for academic research and teaching. |
|
Category B |
Data and
documents are released for academic research and teaching, if the
results won’t be published.
If any publications, or any further work on the results is planned, a
permission must be obtained by GESIS-ZA. |
|
Category C |
Data and
documents are only released for academic research and teaching after the
data depositor’s written authorisation. For this purpose the GESIS-ZA obtains
a written permission with specification of the user and the analysis
intention. |
To
order
material from the archive holding, forms are provided in which all necessary
information for the request processing can be entered.
The material is only made available for the intention the GESIS-ZA or the data
supplier was notified about. The passing on of the material to a third party
is not allowed.
The user assumes responsibility to inform the GESIS-ZA about the completion of
the project the material has been used for. To prevent misuse the data has to be deleted or the data medium has to be
made unusable after completion of the project. In case a further utilisation is intended, the user must apply to the
GESIS-ZA
for new use permission.
The user assumes responsibility to quote all used documents according to
scientific conventions and to transfer two specimen copies of his/her
publication to the Central Archive.
The GESIS-ZA scale of charges and
fees regulate the fees for the provision of data and documents from the
GESIS-ZA.
Changes of the regulations for use and the scale of charges become
effective from 24.04.2007.
