tutkimustarkoituksissa

tutkimustarkoituksissa is a Finnish expression used in formal and policy texts to indicate that data, materials, or activities are to be used for the purposes of research. The phrase signals a scoped use that is limited to scholarly investigation rather than other goals such as commercial development or routine administrative tasks.

Käyttö kontekstissa: It is commonly found in consent forms, data processing agreements, ethical review applications, and research protocols. By stating that information will be used “tutkimustarkoituksissa,” the document clarifies the intended purpose and helps set boundaries for data access, collection, and dissemination. The wording supports compliance with ethical standards and privacy regulations by emphasizing that the primary aim is research rather than other uses.

Ethical and legal implications: Using the phrase often accompanies requirements such as informed consent, data minimization, anonymization or pseudonymization, and restricted data sharing. It does not by itself authorize all possible research activities; researchers must still adhere to applicable laws, obtain necessary approvals, and respect participants’ rights. When data are later used beyond originally stated research purposes, additional consent or approvals may be required.

Tulkinta ja likimääräisyys: In Finnish policy language, tarkoitus-phrases like tutkimustarkoituksissa are part of constraining language that helps ensure accountability and clarity about what is permissible. They are not standalone legal licenses but indicators of scope within broader ethical and legal frameworks. See also: tietosuoja, tutkimuslupa, eettinen arviointi.
