Sharing Study Data: A Guide for Education Researchers

This product is part of a series that seeks to help researchers improve the quality and relevance of their education studies. Building on one of IES's Standards for Excellence in Education Research (SEER), this particular guide focuses on key issues that education researchers should consider when deciding which study data to share, how to organize the data, what documentation to include, and where to share their final dataset. The guide also provides strategies for addressing challenges such as how to balance privacy with transparency, and includes links to other resources, a checklist aligned to each section, and appendices that contain templates and samples.
