Description
In this paper, we are trying to address the current issues and challenges of Research Data Centres, using the Hungarian Central Statistical Office’s model, while proposing possible improvements to further enhance efficiency. In order to do so, we are planning to take a three-way standpoint. By that, we mean to take into consideration the viewpoint of SDC Experts, Researchers and the User Relations Department professionals altogether, since it is these three foundations that micro-data driven scientific researches are built upon. The focus will mainly be on SDC control related topics, however, since the whole process isn’t a one-sided act, we will dive into all the actual feedback we got from the aforementioned sides as well. For example, how Researchers need an extended period of time to receive accreditation to access certain datasets. We note that it is important to grant a more precise description with detailed labels about every dataset. Moreover, from an SDC standpoint, while training Researchers to consider data protection during output production can definitely be beneficial, it has its own risks as well. We also go through the difficulties of monitoring a whole research from beginning to finish, especially if there are large time gaps between data releases and if there are additional information outside of the Research Data Centres to consider, too.
