Data Reuse

Data reuse refers to the practice of using existing data for multiple purposes beyond its original collection. Instead of collecting new information each time, organizations or researchers repurpose and analyze previously gathered data to generate new insights or solve different problems. This approach saves time, resources, and effort, and can enhance consistency and comparability across projects. Effective data reuse relies on good data management practices, clear documentation, and ensuring data quality so that the information remains accurate and meaningful for various applications over time.
