Description:
Since the turn of millennium research funders, governments, and publishers, both nationally and internationally, have increasingly demanded transparency in all social research, and more latterly required transparency in qualitative research. What impact will this have on qualitative researchers?
The vocabulary of the transparency agenda can be confusing, with terms such as, inter alia ‘open science’, ‘open access’, ‘open data’, ‘data sharing’, and ‘data access’ replete throughout funders guidelines and publishers’ statements. The ethical and practical considerations associated with the production, storing and sharing of the many and varied forms of qualitative data can be daunting. Moreover, the very idea of sharing ‘our own’, what can feel personal and even intimate, qualitative data is hotly debated and controversial.
The aim of the workshop is to introduce and debate these issues. Following an introductory presentation, the session will encourage participants to debate these issues. Ideally, where possible, researchers will bring examples from their own experiences of generating qualitative data and share reflections on factors that hinder and enhance its transparency. Others may be thinking about carrying out qualitative research and want to think about how they should ensure they can meet the requirements of transparency. Still others may resist the idea of transparency in qualitative research altogether. All contributions and considerations are welcomed.
