DTU Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity Data management: Statistics Denmark To facilitate register-based research Statistics Denmark has given researchers ac-cess to identified administrative register-based micro data. All data processing is ac-tually done in Statistics Denmark and data cannot be transferred from Statistics Denmark to the researcher’s computer or any other computer. However, all results from the researcher’s computer work can be stored in a special file and such printouts are sent to the researcher by e-mail. All e-mails are logged at Statistics Denmark and checked by Statistics Denmark’s Research Service Unit. Only Danish research environments are granted authorization, as Statistics Denmark is not able to effectively enforce a contract abroad. Moreover, only researchers involved in a specific research project have access to project-specific data sets (based on admin-istrative registers) and empirical results obtained. This makes the assessment of the applied analyses challenging. However, authors can and should cooperate with in-vestigators seeking to conduct a replication. Moreover, authors can provide a Re-adme PDF file providing information on how the proprietary data can be obtained by others. Data management: Qualitative research When conducting qualitative research interviews of organizational, implementation and/or political processes, a prerequisite is often that the interviewee cannot be iden-tified in relation to a particular quote or more generally in relation to the research. It implies that access for other researchers or the public cannot be made to interview recording, transcripts or coding. At Transport DTU examples of this kind of research are focus on the use of indica-tors (or other types of knowledge) and goals in transport policy making. This implies that the Code of Conduct cannot in any case be used to demand access to primary material or data because it is sensitive for the individual interviewees. Lack of access to primary material and data has implications for researchers as it can affect the methodologies they employ in their research. DTU – Technical University of Denmark 14
