This information often comes from research based on data about individual people, households, and businesses and other organizations, collected by statistical agencies. The benefit of increasing data accessibility to researchers and analysts is better informed public policy. To realize this benefit, a variety of modes for data access " including restricted access to confidential data and unrestricted access to appropriately altered public-use data "must be used. The risk of expanded access to potentially sensitive data is the increased probability of breaching the confidentiality of the data and, in turn, eroding public confidence in the data collection enterprise. Indeed, the statistical system of the United States ultimately depends on the willingness of the public to provide the information on which research data are based. Expanding Access to Research Data issues guidance on how to more fully exploit these tradeoffs. The panel (TM)s recommendations focus on needs highlighted by legal, social, and technological changes that have occurred during the last decade.Privacy, Right ofUnited StatesPublic recordsAccess controlUnited StatesFreedom of informationUnited StatesResearchInformation servicesPrivacy, Right ofPublic recordsAccess controlFreedom of informationResearchInformation services.323.44/830973National Academies Press (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958842803321Expanding access to research data4362513UNINA
