Rethinking data sharing and human participant protection in social science research: Applications from the qualitative realm
Social science researchers, like any other researchers, produce data in their work, both quantitative and qualitative. Unlike other sciences, social science researchers have some added difficulties in meeting the data sharing initiatives promoted by funding agencies and journals when it comes to qualitative data and how to share it "both ethically and safely." In this 2017 paper, Kirilova and Karcher describe the efforts of the Qualitative Data Repository at Syracuse University, considering the variables that went into making qualitative data available while trying to reconcile "the tension between modifying data or restricting access to them, and retaining their analytic value." They conclude that such repositories' goals should be towards "educating researchers how to be 'safe people' and how to plan for 'safe projects' – when accessing such data and using them for secondary analysis – and providing long-term 'safe settings' for the data, including via de-identification and appropriate access controls."Handling metadata in a neurophysiology laboratory
Metadata capture is important to scientific reproducibility argue Zehl et al., particularly in regards to "the experiment, the data, and the applied preprocessing steps on the data." In this 2016 paper, however, the researchers demonstrate that metadata capture is not necessarily a simple task for an experimental laboratory; diverse datasets, specialized workflows, and lack of knowledge of supporting software tools all make the challenge of metadata capture more difficult. After demonstrating use cases representative of their neurophysiology lab and make a case for the open metadata Markup Language (odML), the researchers conclude that "[r]eadily available tools to support metadata management, such as odML, are a vital component in constructing [data and metadata management] workflows" in laboratories of all types.
