Trans-border transfer of human biological materials in collaborative biobanking research: Perceptions and experiences of researchers in Uganda

supporting data for publication submitted to Plos one on the ethical-legal scrutiny of trans-border exchange of human biological materials in collaborative research. The data was from a study that aimed to explore researchers’ experiences and perceptions of trans-border exchange of human biological materials in international collaborative research. <br> <strong>Methods:</strong> This was a descriptive convergent parallel study that randomly recruited 187 researchers involved in biobanking and or genetics research. Data were collected using a self-administered tool that had both open and closed ended questions. The results of the quantitative analyses were summarized as tables capturing different descriptive statistics and the odds ratios. Qualitative data were analyzed using sentiment and thematic analyses using the r software environment. <br> <strong>The data</strong>: The supporting data included here icluded the following: R code with commands used in analysis, quantitative data, text data for both the content analysis and thematic analysis that followed, a Plos one CSL file, an html output file and a bib text file containing the used references. All of this should allow other researchers to reproduce our analysis. <br>

本数据集为提交至《公共科学图书馆·综合》（PLOS ONE）、聚焦合作研究中人类生物材料跨境交换的伦理法律审查相关论文的支撑数据。本数据源自一项旨在探究科研人员在国际合作研究中开展人类生物材料跨境交换的经历与认知的研究。
**研究方法：** 本研究为描述性收敛平行研究，随机招募了187名从事生物样本库（biobanking）或遗传学研究的科研人员。采用兼具开放式与封闭式问题的自填式调研工具收集数据。定量分析结果以表格形式汇总，涵盖各类描述性统计量及比值比。定性数据则借助R软件环境，通过情感分析与主题分析法进行处理。
**数据集内容：** 本次提供的支撑数据包含以下内容：用于分析的R代码及指令、定量数据集、用于内容分析与主题分析的文本数据集、适配PLOS ONE格式的CSL文件、HTML输出文件，以及包含所用参考文献的Bib格式文本文件。所有内容均可支持其他科研人员复现本次分析结果。
