Yes, you can do so by generating a **private URL** via your dataset record in DR-NTU (Data).

1. Go to your dataset > Edit Dataset > Private URL.

2.  Click on "Create Private URL" or "Create URL for Anonymized Access".

Create Private URL: URL with **full metadata** of dataset

Create URL for Anonymised Access: URL with **some metadata** of dataset redacted. Metadata that are withheld include: authors' name(s), dataset contact, contributor name, depositor name, associated grant numbers and related publications. This may potentially be useful in a double blind peer review.

**Example of what a dataset with "URL for Anonymised Access" looks like:**

You may disable these private URLs anytime. Upon publishing the dataset, the private URL shared will be disabled as well.
