Data access regulations
Some of the data in the ZA EUROLAB have been provided by countries with
different conditions for data access. Accordingly, national regulations have to be
applied also within the ZA EUROLAB.
Access to most of the data sets is not restricted. However, there are exceptions.
Especially the access to the Scandinavian election data is restricted, i.e. usage requires
a written permission from the national archive before you can work with them. These
data sets are not accessible as long as you do not have the permission from the responsible
archive. If you are planning to work with these data during your stay, you should contact
the ZA EUROLAB staff prior to arrival so we can arrange the permission.
Please inform the ZA EUROLAB staff about the data files you are working on. At your
departure you have to fill in a form, listing the data sets you have been using for analysis.
Please be aware that it is your responsibility as a researcher to ensure that you keep to
the rules given for using data, i.e. sending copies of articles to national archives or
institutions which are listed in the codebook, to inform about data sets used, that it is
your own interpretation of the results etc. Such requirements are usually
emphasised
in
the codebooks.
Detailed information can be
obtained from the ZA EUROLAB staff.
