Public Summary
The SSH field has made important advances in collecting digital trace data that individuals create in their daily lives. However, this wealth of data runs the risk of being closed off in local archives from universities due to concerns about how to handle, publish and/or share sensitive data. Leveraging the power of the Dutch National Research Infrastructure, RIGHTS addresses these challenges and ensures that these crucial datasets about human behavior are made Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable in an ethical and privacy-protecting manner.
