Coventry University drops from 70th to 96th in The Guardian University League table. The VC has investigated and identified the culprits: The data. The methodology. The subjects. The sector. The external environment. Good news, everyone: management has been completely exonerated by management.

NEW MORPHSS PREPRINT on Mixed methods and ethnographic researchers’ perspectives on sharing qualitative research data in the social sciences doi.org/10.31222/osf... #OpenResearch #OpenQualData
Title and abstract of preprint.

‘Trying to apply a care-based approach’: Mixed methods and ethnographic researchers’ perspectives on sharing qualitative research data in the social sciences'

Expectations around qualitative data sharing have a vexed history. While some assert their importance, including in facilitating the impact of rich data beyond the confines of an individual research project, others highlight the barriers around sharing data that is often personal, sensitive, and highly situated, indicating a need for ongoing research on how these challenges are perceived and negotiated within specific methodological contexts. Responding to a scarcity of both research on ethnographers’ data sharing practices and attention to qualitative sharing in the context of mixed methods, this article details the findings from a series of 22 interviews with ethnographic and mixed methods researchers regarding their decision-making processes around whether and how to share qualitative data. 

We find that interviewees’ consideration of the rationale for and benefits of qualitative data sharing goes far beyond a focus on reproducibility or verifiability to embrace a broad range of factors. Among both mixed methods and ethnographic researchers, data is perceived as both a rigorous research output carrying profound evidentiary weight and a product of a co-created, contextually-situated endeavour, a finding that is reflected in the variety of factors that inform decision-making around whether and how it can be shared. This necessitates, we suggest, care-full, situated negotiation between the needs and interests of diverse actors alongside pragmatic handling of logistical parameters. After detailing the moderating mechanisms used to achieve such negotiation in instances where data sharing is possible, we conclude by highlighting the supportive environment within which such processes of care must in themselves take place.

It feels like we're moving past the idea of "open" as the sharing of everything by everyone to everyone. It's sad for COS, but I think the shift may allow us to foreground a better understanding of openness defined by practices/communities/relationships rather than whether a resource is open/closed.

As someone that was not directly involved in the EPG or the pilots, what was very clear was that the pilot projects have made a lot possible! Not just for the works produced directly through them, but to really expand the capacity for experimental book publishing in the 21st century. The practices of relational care and affective forms of social binding, the possibilities of free and open source technologies to expand conceptions of digital publishing, and going beyond a singular understanding a book’s surface were persistent themes throughout the retreat. Such facets for experimentation within open access publishing are crucial to continue to develop our understanding of the book. I look forward to seeing these develop further as these projects move towards completion and new projects and opportunities carry them forwards.
