Nordicana D

Nordicana series D is a formatted, online data report series archived at CEN. It is produced only in electronic form and is freely and openly accessible to CEN researchers and to other users. Nordicana D has been conceived to aid the management of data sets, to ensure and maximize the exchange and accessibility of relevant data for the different stakeholders, and to provide a lasting legacy of CEN monitoring and research activities.

Data Management CEN data are those data collected and generated by CEN scientists and collaborators, in full or in part. CEN researchers and collaborators are strongly encouraged to facilitate access and share their metadata and data.
Data Policy The following principles will be adhered to in addressing the Nordicana D and CEN Data Policy objectives: · Respect confidentiality requirements and researcher rights to publication. · Recognize that human health and sociological studies will have specialised issues when it comes to data and privacy. · Ensure that the databases are widely and easily accessible to a variety of users. · Ensure the long term preservation of CEN and other relevant data sets. · Use existing knowledge and infrastructure, wherever appropriate;i.e., ensure connectivity of data, but not duplication of systems. · Encourage excellence in data collection, management and accessibility.
Data Sharing Principle Nordicana D Specific requests for datasets, along with their metadata, are encouraged to be published in Nordicana series D. Nordicana is an ongoing printed report series at CEN. Nordicana D is a separate data report series produced only in electronic form and freely available to the client who made the request, CEN researchers and to any other user. Nordicana D is archived in the long term at Centre d' Etudes Nordiques, Universite Laval, with the necessary back-up provisions. Polar Data Catalogue CEN fosters the use of the Polar Data Catalogue,a database of metadata and data that describes, indexes and provides access to diverse data sets generated by Arctic and Antarctic researchers. The Polar Data Catalogue was developed by ArcticNet in partnership with the Canadian Cryospheric Information Network(CCIN), and has been adopted by the Canadian International Polar Year 2007-2008 as a long-term archive. It is in the public domain. All data reports published in Nordicana D will be described in the Polar Data Catalogue toensure their full availability and dissemination. Moreover, the CEN supports the uploading of all CEN data in the Polar Data Catalogue to make them fully, freely and openly available within the shortest feasible timescale. Detailed information about the Polar Data Catalogue is available at www. polardata. ca. Exceptions to this philosophy of full, free, and open access are (adapted from the Canadian IPY 2007-2008 Data Policy): where human subjects are involved, privacy and confidentiality must be protected. Access to personal information and human biological samples may be provided in accordance with applicable legislation, regulations, ethics approvals and policies; where local and traditional knowledge is concerned, rights of the knowledge holders shall not be compromised; where data release may cause harm, specific aspects of the data may need to be kept protected (for example, locations of nests of endangered birds or locations of sacred sites); and where pre-existing data are subject to access restrictions.
