New Practical Guide on Research Data Anonymisation and Pseudonymisation Published by DCC Data StewardsResearchers frequently encounter challenges in minimising personally identifiable information, also known as personal data, in their research. What is personal data in research? How to collect only the minimum amount of personal data necessary for your research? How to minimize the risk of identification, including selecting suitable anonymisation and pseudonymisation techniques? What practical considerations are important? These are the questions covered in the new Research Data Anonymisation and Pseudonymisation Practical Guide, recently published by a team of UT Data Stewards. The guide introduces key principles underlying anonymisation and pseudonymisation and provides actionable steps for implementing them across a wide range of data types, including textual, numerical, visual, audio, and geospatial data. It also provides practical examples to illustrate how various techniques can impact data usability, enabling researchers to make informed decisions when applying the techniques.
