# Data Privacy Survey



## About

In the second quarter of 2022, Utrecht University (UU) Research Data Management 

Support (RDM Support) sent out a survey among all scientific personnel at Utrecht 

University, and organised one-on-one meetings with a selection of them. The aim 

of these efforts was to investigate 1) How UU researchers currently deal with 

personal data in their research, 2) What challenges they run into when handling 

personal data in research, and 3) How support at UU can improve their services 

concerning personal data in research.



The survey and one-on-one meetings were part of the 

Data Privacy Project, 

an RDM Support  project to improve information, tools and services surrounding 

personal data in research.

## This repository



This repository contains the documentation, code, fake survey data and the two

reports written about the survey.



**Documentation** can be found in the `documentation` folder of this repository. 

It contains:



- The full survey

in text and

as Qualtrics export.

- The survey's privacy statement.

- The survey's Data Management Plan.

- The invitation sent out to researchers to meet one-on-one.

- The codes used  to score open text responses and meeting notes.

- A codebook of the online survey in .csv format.



**Code** can be found in the 

src folder of this repository:



- `pseudonymise-data.R` reads in the raw data and cleans it up to create a 

pseudonymised version. It writes the pseudonymised data into the `data/pseud` folder 

(not publicly available). If the cleaned dataset passes the (limited) k-anonymity 

checks, it is written to the `data/processed` folder instead.

- `plot-data.R` contains all code needed to create the Results report.

- `create-codebook.R` contains code to create the codebook.

- `data-privacy-survey-report.Rmd` is the file underlying the published Results 

report. It loads the `plot-data.R` script to create all visualisations.

- `data-privacy-survey-recommendations.Rmd` is the file underlying the 

Recommendations report. 



As the **dataset** contains personal information (demographic information, open text 

responses, email addresses, etc.), and no consent was obtained to share those 

details, we are unable to share the dataset in this repository. Instead, we 

created fake data files, 

which can be used to reproduce the Results report. 



The two **reports** written about the survey are the following:



- The Results report describes 

the methodology and full results, both for the entire Utrecht University as well 

as the separate faculties.

- The Recommendations report 

summarises the results and provides Recommendations to improve privacy-related 

support for Utrecht University researchers.
