Research drop-in session (data collection, storage, privacy and security)
Do you have questions about sharing or managing research data, finding Cloud applications, or data privacy? McGill researchers across all disciplines are welcome to “query the panel” on topics related to research data management, research software, data privacy and cybersecurity.
This initiative is a joint effort of IT Services, Research Ethics, Libraries, and the Office of the Vice-President (Research and Innovation).

Examples of the type of questions that could be addressed:
- I collaborate with researchers across different universities. Is it secure to use X solution to share data?
- I work with big data and high performance computing. What is the best repository for my data?
- I work with human participants and I need to record my interviews. Can I use software X to record them, and software Y to upload them to an IT approved cloud solution?
- I would like to use a software that is not yet approved by IT Services. Do I need to go through a vetting process?
- I need to transcribe interviews using X software. Can I use that software to perform transcriptions of the recordings and/or content analysis?
- I am planning my project’s data management. What are data models and standards most commonly used in my field? Where can I find this information?
- I want to conduct anonymous surveys using X solution. Will this be a secure option?
- I have a project with an industry partner that would like to use X software to manage the project’s sensitive data. What are the IP and privacy implications?
