I should probably clarify a bit. Yes, Iıll code internet survey response data and observational into Study Code IDs, etc. Iım sorta curious on the storage end of things, like keeping your data locked in cabinets, what (if anything) you note about storing data in your institutional repository/digital libraries, etc. I see lots of public spaces on peopleıs websites that link to their study results, but Iım just a bit more curious about the administrative/organizational side of things. What do you ³have² to do, and how are you complying? Like you Emily, Iım not real concerned about ever using names after the fact.
