Data linkage

Data linkage refers to linking person-level data from one dataset with data held by other parties (e.g. government departments or other researchers).  Data linkage involves a number of legal, ethical, practical and technical decisions for it to be a useful data source for research.

Monash has supported research data linkage since 2019 when it created a community of practice - M-Link.
