TOWNSEND, Beverley; GOODEN, Amy; BOTES, Marietjie  and  THALDAR, Donrich. Repurposing research data for commercial use: POPIA, a foil or a facilitator?. S. Afr. j. sci. [online]. 2023, vol.119, n.7-8, pp.1-5. ISSN 1996-7489.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/sajs.2023/15075.

SIGNIFICANCE: For considerations of public policy, research in South Africa is not (merely) a purpose in itself, but a fundamental contributor to the South African economy. Because research data - which may consist of personal information - often has commercial value, it is important that we consider legal pathways for repurposing research data for commercial use. The POPIA draft Code of Conduct for Research should provide guidance in this regard

Keywords : research; commercialisation; repurposing; POPIA; Draft Code of Conduct for Research.
