Balancing data accessibility with confidentiality is a significant challenge. - Data Quality: Inconsistent or incomplete data can undermine the reliability of research findings. - Technical Barriers: Lack of standardized data formats and technological infrastructure can limit data sharing. - Legal and Ethical Constraints: Regulations and ethical considerations can restrict data access.
