What should happen to qualitative research data when a project ends? How can data be used for multiple studies, even ones that were not planned for when a project was started? And how can we get the most out of research data while also protecting participants’ rights and privacy?
Sharing and re-using the types of data often collected in the social sciences and humanities is difficult. These data are usually contextual – here-and-now specific – and often identify individuals. This raises a number of legal and ethical constraints, and creates barriers to openness in qualitative research.
This week, QualiFAIR is at the Open Science Fair conference in Madrid discussing lessons learned in the process of making qualitative data more reusable
The QualiFAIR breakfast seminar series has brought together academic, technical, and administrative staff from across UiO and beyond to share their knowledge and experience on ethics and privacy issues related to making qualitative research more open, and when possible, shareable.
