Microdata: Umiddelbar tilgang til forskningsdata
Bli med i seminarserien Lunsj med Åpen Vitenskap - denne gangen for å høre om umiddelbar, online tilgang til detaljerte registerdata i Norge gjennom microdata.no.
Hovedinnhold
Seminaret vil vere på engelsk.
About the topic
Data collection is often costly and time consuming, and an increasing number of researchers reuse existing data. However, not all existing data is openly and instantly available and many registries often require a longer application process before data can be accessed.
Microdata has been developed as one solution to this problem. It is a platform with large amounts of detailed and mergeable data on humans and society that can be accessed without any form of application, if your employer/university has signed a User Agreement. When working with microdata you never see any identifiable information about research subjects and so, no approvals are required.
In this seminar, we will hear from Statistics Norway (SBB) about how the platform works and how it can be used, as well as from Ryan Tamayo Europa from the University of South-Eastern Norway about a PhD candidate’s perspective on working with microdata. Grab your matpakke and join us for the presentations from our special guests and for an open Q&A session afterwards!
