This topic surfaced during the global sprint:
Fatma commented: (Pasteur_Tunis) Could it be possible to add a new issue about reviewing the data critically before using it ? such as "Should I believe this data blindly?..." several stories report big scientists names creating the data from scratch without experimental evidence. Have a look at the 'Office of Research Integrity' as an example https://ori.hhs.gov
Steph answered: Absolutely think this is critical to ask. I think it may fit better in what we have in mind for module 5 (Making Friends with Other People's Data) which will be abt what you need to consider before using others data.
Great point. Might be nice to have something on communication with data's author where possible too.
