The Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD) has issued its Data Management Award to FIRIPO for the excellent data management practices displayed by the research team working with the Citizens’ Opinion and Barometern survey panels. The award was received by professor Kim Strandberg from Åbo Akademi University, who participated virtually because of a severe snow storm during the day the ceremony was held.
The Award is issued to a person, research team or organisation that has exhibited exemplary consideration for data management and the lifecycle of research data when collecting, organising and archiving the data.
FSD states that in Citizens’ Opinion and Barometern, data management and the lifecycle of data have been taken into account from the very beginning, the data is in good order and excellently documented.
At the moment six datasets from Citizens’ Opinion and eighteen datasets from Barometern have been deposited to FSD. The datasets are available for research, study and education and can be accessed through the Aila portal.
