o http://devInfo.org/unicefdata A redesigned and expanded MICS (Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey) website This site will include easier access to datasets for researchers, academics, government officials, etc. with intuitive content navigation and browsing experience, with MICS tools, resources, surveys and dissemination products.
We are grateful to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Royal Ontario Museum for access to datasets.
Public access to datasets and their standardization are requirements for the reproduction of research finding [ 39], for complementing experiments between different labs and successful kinetic pathway modeling [ 40].
Trends in science education are directed toward an emphasis in active learning and group learning, increased reliance on writing, increased use of computers to provide students with access to large datasets for open-ended problems, and depth of treatment is emphasized over coverage of many subjects.
Surveys, on the other hand, represent a deductive approach with pre-determined fixed response questions which are useful when anonymous data are required and there is timely access to representative datasets for patient recruitment to surveys.
This is mutually beneficial for usage and development and, on the other hand, bioinformatics tool development has, in return, ready access to extensive datasets for validation as well as, even more important, facilitated interaction with domain experts that provide the context for its interpretation.
Another way of improving the data already stored is to provide, in addition to the addresses of Web pages presenting information about a relevant dataset, a programmatic access to the dataset itself (for instance via Web Services).
Access to the datasets is possible for members of the research team through a password-protected entry.
H3Africa has developed a data-sharing policy framework that ensures that Africa-based researchers have access to genetic datasets from the project for a period of up to 23 months before the datasets become widely available [ 9].
We also had access to the full datasets for four of the five studies.
Additional advantages of our approach are the team's deep knowledge of the study setting and their access to the full datasets for the studies, rather than the published papers only.
