!!! danger "Caution"

Sharing source data may help amend errors and missing data discovered
only with the reuse of the raw dataset in practice.
Therefore, from an Open Science perspective, it is RECOMMENDED to share
the source data whenever it is possible.

However, more stringent sharing limitations may apply to the source data
than those applicable to the raw data.
For example, human data almost always requires deidentification
before they can be redistributed,
or the subjects' consent form did not explicitly state that the source files
would be shared after deidentification.
Further examples in which sharing source data may not be possible
include original data formats that are not redistributable
as per the acquisition device's license.

As for raw data, all regulatory, ethical, and legal aspects SHOULD
be carefully considered before sharing data
through the `sourcedata/` directory mechanism.
In the case of source data, these aspects are likely more stringent.

### Storage of derived datasets

Derivatives can be stored/distributed in two ways:
