Managing qualitative data

In many social science and humanities disciplines, qualitative research data – such as interview transcripts, observation logs, field diaries, documents, or audio and video recordings – play an important role. The openness of qualitative research and the low level of standardisation of research materials also result in specific requirements for research data management. This focus module offers practical recommendations for handling qualitative research data. In addition to an overview, three topics that often raise many questions are dealt with in depth: implementation of informed consent, anonymisation, and documentation/contexts.

• Qualitative research and data
• Specific FDM challenges
• Implementation of informed consent
• Anonymisation of qualitative data
• Documentation of qualitative research
