SBE CCC Project Manager Megan Chenoweth and Director and Co-PI John Kubale published a report “Using Metadata to Promote Transparency in Health Research: Creating the COVID Measures Archive at ICPSR” in the International Journal of Digital Curation. The Social, Behavioral, and Economic COVID Coordinating Center at ICPSR (SBE CCC) launched an archive aimed at addressing challenges within the domain of social, behavioral, and economic (SBE) research into the COVID-19 pandemic in regards to protecting contributors’ needs for privacy and confidentiality in health research while also allowing researchers the ability to compare measures across SBE studies of COVID.
