The uses and misuses of open research data

Openly shared research data can be used for purposes beyond those envisioned by the scientists who originally collected the data. Some of these uses advance discovery and some veer into misuse or worse misconduct. What’s the difference? Who decides? How can researchers who share data widely promote constructive uses? Come discuss these issues with us over lunch, informed by local experts who have been on the front lines of these issues.
