Open Sharing of Qualitative & Mixed-Method Data: A Town Hall with Colin Elman & Sebastian Karcher
The importance of sharing data, and other research products, is not unique to quantitative studies. That said, there are some special considerations for sharing qualitative data and relating them to quantitative ones. Therefore, we will be talking about the present and future of “open data+more,” especially with respect to qualitative and mixed-method studies. As always, the Town Hall is a forum for learning, asking tough questions, and figuring out the path ahead at the Andrew Young School.
