Demonstrating transparency in qualitative research Online
Recent years has seen an increase in calls for openness and sharing in research. GDPR and the proliferation of open access repositories, as well as concerns about how data has been used to inform policies, have all raised public awareness of this drive. Funders, in particular, as well as publishers and professional societies now require researchers to deposit data in an appropriate data repository as a standard part of procedures.
Within quantitative research, the infrastructure to facilitate this transparency is well-established and accepted; the complexities of nature of qualitative research, however, has largely left challenges for researchers trying to do the same with qualitative data.
Looking at archived, qualitative datasets, we can glean lessons about the good practices to help foster transparency and take advantage of these benefits. This session will include a summary of the so-called "reproducibility crisis" in research and present case studies and examples of how qualitative researchers have demonstrated transparency in their research.
By critically engaging in discussions of how transparency can be facilitated within qualitative research, we will explore what realistic expectations for what open research in qualitative research looks like.
