In this webinar, researchers will learn about options for sharing qualitative data, with a focus on the Qualitative Data Repository, of which OSU is an institutional member. Dessi Kirilova, QDR’s Senior Curation Specialist, will show how the deposit process works and will present examples of nuanced data sharing possibilities, including of sensitive data, securely shared under varying levels of access control.
More broadly, researchers will gain a better understanding of qualitative data sharing norms and practices in the social and health sciences, and of simple steps they can take to manage qualitative research materials during the course of projects, which help them stay organized in their own work and enable future archiving and re-use of the materials they so carefully collect. This webinar is designed for anyone who uses qualitative or multi-method techniques in their research — such as faculty, graduate students, and independent researchers, and the staff who support them — and is especially timely for those applying for federal or nonprofit funding who need to prepare a data management / sharing plan (DMP or DMSP) for their qualitative or multi-method research projects.
