Does anything speak against publication?

There are circumstances under which data shouldn’t be published, or such, where it should be published only under certain conditions. The most important prerequisite for publication is that you have the right to do so. (Who is allowed to decide on the transfer and publication of data? / Do I own the copyright to my data?)

On the other hand, it may be confidential personal data that may only be published after anonymisation or with the permission of the parties concerned. (What data protection restrictions must I observe?)

If you want to publish with a publisher, also make sure you choose the publisher wisely and do not fall for so-called predatory publishers. This short lecture by Werner Dees offers a brief overview of how you can recognise predatory publishers.
