The why, what, and how of de-identifying research data. In a new blog post on the ODISSEI blog, Deborah Thorpe (Research Data Management Expert at DANS) and Ricarda Braukmann (Data Station Manager at DANS) look at the need for de-identifying data. They give insights on why you would need to de-identify data, what ‘anonymisation’ is and how you can de-identify by exploring a number of tools available.
