Standard: RR - The Ethics of Archiving and Reusing Qualitative Data: Guidelines for Practice

这个研讨会将通过制定定性数据的存档、共享和重用的指导方针来推进学术研究。讲习班的重点是制定对公布定性数据所涉及的伦理和认识论问题敏感的准则，从而将超越侧重于定性研究和定量研究之间对比的辩论。这些指南将为定性研究人员（研究生，高级学者，政策分析师，项目和计划工作人员），IRB和其他负责监督定性研究道德行为的机构提供实用的资源。此外，他们将感兴趣的研究人员和利益相关者以外的学院，包括非政府组织，非营利机构和资助机构。在社会研究中越来越多地要求透明度的时候，提供定性数据已经变得突出。响应这一呼吁可能最容易由研究人员完成，他们的大量定量数据集可以匿名，当同意似乎是直接的，或者这些数据已经在公共领域。本次研讨会将侧重于归档定性调查和定量数据归档，共享和重用的可转移性的道德挑战。一个多学科小组的讲习班参与者谁是敏感的知情同意和保密的道德问题，以及对认识的假设，解释性研究方法的基础将制定准则草案，使定性数据的公开。一旦指南定稿，它们将被分发给学术和研究社区，组织，资助者和期刊编辑的成员。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

This workshop that will advance scholarly research by developing guidelines for the archiving, sharing, and reuse of qualitative data. By focusing on the development of guidelines that are sensitive to the ethical and epistemological concerns entailed in making qualitative data public, the workshop will move beyond debates focused on the contrasts between qualitative and quantitative research. These guidelines will offer a practical resource for use by qualitative researchers (graduate students, senior scholars, policy analysts, and project and program staff), IRBs, and other institutional bodies charged with oversight regarding the ethical conduct of qualitative research. In addition, they will be of interest to researchers and stakeholders beyond the academy, including NGOs, not-for-profit agencies, and funding institutions. Making qualitative data publically available has become salient at a time when there are increasing calls for transparency in the conduct of social research. Responding to this call may be most readily accomplished by researchers whose large quantitative data sets can be anonymized and when consent appears to be either straightforward, or these data are already in the public domain. This workshop will focus on the ethical challenges of archiving qualitative inquiry and the transferability of quantitative data archiving, sharing, and reuse. A multidisciplinary group of workshop participants who are sensitive to ethical concerns of informed consent and preserving confidentiality, as well as on the epistemic assumptions that underlie interpretive research methods will develop draft guidelines for making qualitative data public. Once the guidelines are finalized they will be disseminated to members of academic and research communities, organizations, funders, and journal editors.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
