The KTH Restricted Access Archive is intended for data that can be shared with restricted access. If you want to share data where access to files needs to be restricted within a limited group you also have the option to request a project or group community instead. When you as depositor select access level  deposit, the recommended level for the KTH Restricted access archive is to set the access level to restricted for files. You have the option to choose whether the visibility level for the deposited record is restricted as well. The curators at the Library-RDM team will curate KTH-affiliated research data in the internal archive and check that:

• • Data is well-described with sufficient metadata
  • That the data is deposited with a suitable access-level according to KTH research data guidelines The guidelines in short means that: 
    
    • Data should be submitted with sufficient metadata to comply with the FAIR principles
    • You cannot publish any confidential data with full open access to the datasets - data with restricted access can be accepted into the internal archive
    • We will ask you some questions in order to guide you to suitable access levels for data before accepting the data -your submission will not be accepted until we have received sufficient information about the dataset so that the classification is clear.
    • Non-confidential data is recommended to be published at KTH open data community instead, but you don't need to re-submit in that case, we can help you move it. 

  
  What counts as confidential or sensitive data? The data need to be confidential and kept with restricted access due to legal or ethical concerns where there are identified risks of causing harm to individuals or organisations if the information is openly accessible. The more serious risk, the more restricted level is suitable. Read more on classifying data and information security on KTH intranet.
  Please note that there may be cases where KTH as an organisation may have legal obligations to provide access to the data. Also note that if you use AI when processing data that is deposited, you also need to adhere to the KTH recommendations for the use of AI.

  If you have confidential /sensitive data and want to get support on how to comply with funding agencies guidelines, journal guidelines and legal requirements regarding making data underlying your results available contact researchdata@kth.se for more information on how to submit the data for deposit at KTH.
