Terms and Conditions for the Use of the Data

Data are not distributed for teaching or for Bachelor's, Master's or licentiate theses.
Data may be obtained for research purposes, for example, for international publications or doctoral theses.
The JYLS data are still in active use by the original research team and other users need their permission to gain access. The research team decides whether to grant access to the data or not on a case-by-case basis. In practice, the data are generally used in cooperation with researchers from the research team.
The JYLS data have a special access application procedure that differs from the procedure normally used for data archived at the FSD.
The application procedure has two stages:
In the first stage, the data archive reviews the application, ensuring that the proposed purpose of use is in line with the above mentioned principles. If approved, the archive sends the applicant the documents, which include, for example, questionnaires, variable lists and frequencies.
In the second stage, the applicant produces a detailed research plan specifying the variables needed, using the documents to identify them. The applicant sends this research plan directly to the director of the research team, Dr. Katja Kokko (katja.r.kokko@jyu.fi). If the application and research plan are approved, the research team sends the data directly to the applicant.

The dataset is (D) available only by permission from the data depositor/creator.

Notify FSD of all publications where you have used the data by sending the citation information to user-services.fsd@tuni.fi.
