John, thank you for the prompt response. Are the raw data available to view?
I share raw data with selected people with demonstrated analytic or data presentation skills.?
I generally ask people to propose a hypothesis to test, and how they plan to test it, before releasing the data. Or to propose a particular way of presenting data
I only share the fields relevant to the hypothesis in question or the visualization at issue. I never share personally identifying data.
When I've shared the data with academic researchers, I avoid sharing the data with different academics who are investigating the same issue.
?
I generally reserve the right to comment on any published version of the data. I rarely want joint authorship, though I do expect credit.
With a large data set and many, many questions, there is a real danger of data mining (chasing results with apparent high confidence) that could easily discredit the survey in the long run. I think confirmation bias runs rampant in survey interpretation and in hiking groups in particular.? So I release raw data very selectively
No offense meant.
