Setting Access Conditions

Levels of Access Management

As the Data-rights holder you can decide how the access to your data is managed. There are three basic types of access management:

• Open Access (the data can simply be downloaded from your Dataverse site)
• ADA Managed (we grant or decline access based on rules set by you)
• ADA Facilitated (we forward data requests to you and you let us know which to grant and which to decline)

Guestbook

Any data that is not Open Access needs to be requested. To request data, a user has to create an account on ADA Dataverse, select the required files and click the request button. This will open a form, we call a Guestbook. The Standard Guestbook contains the following questions:

- Name 
- Email 
- Institution or Organisation 
- Position 

- What is your primary intended use of this data?  
- If other uses, please indicate what other intended use you have for this data? 
- Please provide a short abstract summarising the intended use of the data 
- Please indicate the name and contact email of your supervisor (where applicable) 
- Are there any sources of funding supporting this research? 
- What are the intended publications and outputs that may feature this data? 

The data-rights holder can change and add guestbook questions.
