What are secondary data?

Question

What are secondary data and when am I required to archive them?

Answer

Secondary data include all processed data files used in the preparation of the document:

  1. spreadsheets,
  2. databases,
  3. output from statistical packages,
  4. graphics,
  5. geographic information,
  6. simulated datasets: only if NOT possible to reproduce from program code.

The secondary data listed above must always be deposited in the repository when collected in a GELIFES research project, unless explicitly stated otherwise.
