Can I share this? Curating sensitive dataGraham Smith
IDCC20 slides - curation of sensitive data.
Since 2016, the publisher Springer Nature has supported data sharing at its journals through the implementation of standardised research data policies. Authors are encouraged to share their data openly, and preferably in a suitable data repository, assisted by curators from the Springer Nature data publishing team where needed.
In providing assistance to authors in sharing their data openly, sensitive data has emerged as a common concern for authors, particularly in cases where their study involved human participants. Although excellent guidance exists to aid authors in decision-making around sensitive data sharing, we continue to encounter authors who are unsure whether their data can be “safely” shared.
In this lightning talk we will describe our approach to supporting authors in sharing sensitive data, with reference to existing guidance for sensitive data preparation based on an assessment of direct and indirect identifiers within the dataset. Direct identifiers are those which uniquely identify a participant within a study, for example their full name, date of birth or facial photograph. Indirect identifiers are often more difficult to recognise, as they do not individually identify a participant but may do in combination with other indirect identifiers, for example rare diseases, unusual job titles, or city of birth. Using a sample dataset we will give a visual demonstration of how appropriate processing can be used to ensure that individual study participants cannot be identified within a dataset, while retaining reuse value of the data. We will also show example data that are deemed identifiable, data that are suitably de-identified for sharing and the difficult cases that fall somewhere in between.
Our support for researchers in sharing their data is fundamentally collaborative. Researchers are experts on their own data, while publishers’ editorial expertise, standards and tools provide a rigorous framework of checks for a dataset to pass through before publication. This process seeks to protect the confidentiality of study participants, whilst ensuring maximal reuse of research data. Key judgements from both the data creator and the curator balance the removal of identifying information with retaining the value and usefulness of the data.

Free Legal Advice Immigration USA- United States
Coming to the USA is exciting -- new people, new places, new opportunities, new
customs and new laws! Whether you are considering working for an American
employer or pursuing a business investment venture in the United States arena,
there are key issues that need to be addressed for your goals to be reached.
Unfortunately, all this novelty can seem overwhelming, especially when it comes to
immigration law. To ensure that you are afforded all of the rights of residency or
citizenship in USA, follow these immigration tips.
HOW TO USE THIS GUIDE:
Becoming a U.S. citizen gives you new rights and privileges: it shows your
patriotism, allows you to vote, you obtain government benefits, and you are able to
able to become a permanent resident of the United States. Being a citizen also
carries with it new responsibilities. This guide will inform the reader of how to
become a U.S. citizen, and answer some frequently asked questions. This guide is
not meant as a substitute for legal advice. Should you have any questions or
concerns you should contact legal counsel.
DO I NEED A LAWYER TO BECOME A UNITED STATES CITIZEN?
Many people navigate the citizenship process successfully without an attorney. This
is impossible to answer without knowing your sophistication and education level.
There is more to the process than just reading and answering the form but of course
this is important as well. In theory you could read the same laws and regulations
that attorneys do and educate yourself but by hiring an attorney you be buying this
expertise. The advantage of an attorney is usually to get everything on file correctly
the first time -- errors in filing location and procedure will result in a rejected case
and a delayed filing but would not prevent you filing again; it just loses time in the
process -- knowledge of what to do if your case is not proceeding as it should, and of
course advising you on any potential land mines that could come up at the interview,
and issues of good moral character, selective service, voting, taxes, child support or
any of the other ancillary issues that are increasingly raised at naturalization
interviews..
Unless you have a complex set of circumstances, you should be able to apply for
citizenship without aid of a lawyer. That said the U.S. immigration laws are complex.
While there are numerous resources to educate yourself and obtain the appropriate
forms, there is a lot to navigate through. Should you have any questions you should
contact legal counsel.
If one is represented by an attorney who is a member of the American Immigration
Lawyers Association (AILA), the USCIS-AILA Liaison process may be used to solve
some of these problems.

3. Here is an example of a screw-up by the USCIS not caused by anything the applicant
did wrong:
Last week someone who applied without an attorney told me that his case was
denied because he told the officer at the interview his father had become U.S.
citizens while he was a Permanent Resident under age 18; the officer told him he
was already a U.S. citizen by operation of law, and he should file an application for a
Certificate of Citizenship; he then filed the requested application, but it too was
denied because he could not prove that his father had a custody order or that he
actually resided with his father during the required time. Purely because of the
officer's error, this person will have to file a new case, resulting in an enormous
amount of wasted time and effort, and a very large amount of filing fees.
HOW DO I FIND A REPUTABLE LAWYER?
If you have decided to retain a lawyer, you will want to find a firm and lawyer with
plenty of experience and a great track record Make sure that you find a lawyer that
specializes in immigration. The legal field is vast, and a lawyer needs to be
specialized in a particular field. Some lawyers may take any type of case just to keep
the money coming in, but they are not necessarily well versed in one particular
subject.
Check your phone book, the internet, your local bar association or word of mouth to
get the names of a few good lawyers. Most will meet for you the first time for
fiancee. Use this time to interview them. What is their experience, how much do they
charge, and what can you expect to get for your money by hiring them?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Why should I become a United States citizen?
There are many benefits to becoming a U.S. citizen. Some benefits include being
able to live and work permanently in the United States, without concern of being
deported or denied entry into the company. If you are a U.S. citizen you are able to
vote, to hold a federal job: and come and go from the country without fear over
immigration regulations.
How Long is the Process to Obtain U.S. Citizenship?
The length of the citizenship process is dependent upon where the applicant is
located within the United States. Generally speaking, an application citizenship takes
about six to seven months to process. To find out how long applications are taking
in your region of the United States, please visit the USCIS’s list of field office
processing times.
How Long must I be a Permanent Resident in the United States before I
Apply for Citizenship?

4. In most instances, a person must be a lawful permanent resident for five years
before becoming a citizenship. However, spouses of U.S. Citizens can become a
U.S. citizen after three years of being a lawful permanent resident. In special
circumstances, the period might also be shorter than five years (i.e. being a member
of the armed forces).
Do I have to wait until the five-year or three-year mark before applying for
citizenship?
No, you do not have to wait until the five or three year mark. You can apply up to
90 days before you become eligible for Citizenship.
Is there any age limitation on becoming a U.S. Citizen?
In most instances, a person must be 18 before they can become a naturalized U.S.
citizen. There is no upper limit to becoming a U.S. citizen.
Does the United States allow for dual citizenship with other countries?
Yes, the United States allows individuals to possess dual citizenship. Although the
United States is not fond of dual citizenship, it realizes that it is a part of long
established international law. A person interested in dual citizenship must ensure
that the other country also allows for dual citizenship.
Who must be registered with the Selective Service?
Only males who are between the ages of 18 and 26 are required to register with the
Selective Service. Additionally, a person need not register if he is outside of the
United States or a lawful nonimmigrant resident. Not registering with the Selective
Service does not permanently bar an applicant from becoming a naturalized citizen,
but it may cause problems and should be handled delicately.

character. Good Moral Character can be demonstrated by NOT doing the following:

13. by willfully failing to support dependent family members
14. committing adultery causing break-up of a family
15. failing to register for Selective Service
16. failing to file or pay income taxes

Yes, including:
1. deserters of the armed forces
2. advocates of anarchy
3. advocates of communism within past ten years
4. individuals facing a removal order, except in certain military service naturalization

In most cases, the applicant must speak, read and write English. However,
exemptions to this requirement include if the applicant has a physical disability or
mental impairment, if the applicant is over 50 years old and has resided in the
United States as a permanent resident for over 20 years, or if the applicant is over
55 years old and has resided in the U.S. as a permanent resident for over 15 years.
