Re: [tor-talk] Tor Research presentation at the CCC
Hi flipchan
Thanks, that's a good point - as a PhD researcher my completed thesis gets uploaded through our university library to https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk/ for free public access when I submit, so it should be openly accessible there. I'm also hoping to circulate my main findings to the community in a more accessible format (with less social sciences jargon) when the research is done. While I can't opensource my data (as the interviews are anonymous), I'm very happy to make my thesis freely and openly available in a way which ensures the anonymity of the respondents.
Very best,
Ben
