Now I'd like to turn to the data you collected or, rather, the data you worked on.

I'm going to draw an analogy. In cooking, you can be as creative as you want in coming up with all kinds of dishes. The real problem, however, is where the ingredients come from.

In this case, the detail we are missing is the source of the data you used for your analyses. Strictly speaking, when you work on something that is given to you, you do the job you're being paid for. I'd like to know whether you were responsible for acquiring the data or whether it was the responsibility of the people or companies you worked for?
