For security and confidentiality reasons, once the results of a study are reported in a journal or at a conference the data should be destroyed
Indicate whether this statement is true or false.
Answer: False
Rationale: Once data are reported in a journal or at a conference, they should be kept for a reasonable amount of time—generally, three to five years is acceptable. The purpose for keeping data relates to the public nature of good research. Other researchers may request access to the data to re-interpret it, or perhaps examine it before doing a replication.
