        Today, one of the essential functions of technology is the
        collection, storage, processing, and transmission of data.
        The healthcare industry, including mental health services, are
        huge benefactors of these advances in technology.  From birth,
        medical facilities start collecting information about all
        individuals; they do so even up to the point of death and all
        points in between.  Over a lifetime,that is an abundance of
        information about an individual.  The question that must be
        answered is, how is that data protected to ensure patients''
        privacy rights?  The more information collected on
        individuals, the more responsibility is assumed by those who
        collect data; methods for how the data is collected, used and
        shared must ensure the protection of patients'' privacy
        rights.  This challenge is one that needs to be navigated and
        addressed by medical professionals and facilities,
        policymakers, and the individuals whose data is collected.
        Specifically in the mental health field, by resolving
        patients'' privacy concerns, policymakers and researchers can
        transform the field by introducing more cost effective
        strategies, ensuring patients'' sense of security, and
        establishing new and more appropriate norms to communicate
        sensitive health information.

        In spite of the large influx of data that exists in many
        fields, scientists have faced with many challenges when it
        comes to the topic of data sharing.  Opponents of this
        practice are skeptical to data sharing due to privacy concern,
        fear of stigmatization, the problem of funding, repository of
        data, transparency, and so forth. While it is important to
        keep these challenges in mind, it is critical to take a look
        at the different advantages of data sharing.

        The importance of data sharing and replication, but what about
        data archiving?
    abstract: >
        With the increase of digital information, scientists have
        faced many challenges when it comes to the topic of big data
        management, including data archiving and data sharing.  while
        it is unproblematic to share and archive quantitative data,
        qualitative data remains a puzzle that social scientists need
        to solve when it comes to what data to share, where to house
        the data, who will pay to store the data, how long the data
        should be kept for, etc. Many researchers are skeptical to
        engage in the practice of sharing digital information due to
        privacy concern, fear of stigmatization, the problem of
        funding, repository of data, transparency, and so forth. While
        it is important to keep these challenges in mind, it is
        critical to take a look at the different advantages of data
        sharing and data archiving.
