Don't think I've been as excited about a @qdr before. We just published the full data of the Pandemic Journaling Project: 27k journal entries, thousands of images&audio (controlled access): https://doi.org/10.5064/F6PXS9ZK

News piece about this:  https://today.uconn.edu/2024/02/pandemic-journaling-project-archive-opens-for-research/

Our site is currently down for scheduled updates and maintenance. We'll be back by 11am US ET (16:00 UTC).
Thank you for your patience

Our Senior Curator Dessi Kirilova & Katie Mika (Harvard Libraries) are talking "Securely Managing and Publishing Sensitive Data" at a free Harvard Webinar Wed. Nov. 15, 12pm
https://libcal.countway.harvard.edu/event/11066807

"[We] will review [using] Harvard Dataverse and Qualitative Data Repository for appropriate data sharing. We will demonstrate how the deposit process works and provide examples of nuanced data sharing possibilities, including of sensitive data, securely shared under varying levels of access control."

We've modernized our authentication: In addition to password/username we now allow social login using google or ORCID. The overall login/logout experience should also be smoother and faster.

(For those interested in the technical details: this is OIDC using Keycloak https://www.keycloak.org/ )

McGill University organized a great workshop series on #de-identifying #researchData -- 2 events on quant, 2 events on qual, each with one foundational workshop and one tool-oriented one. I presented the foundational qual one (WS3), but all worth checking out. All slides and recordings (incl. French translation) available https://www.mcgill.ca/drs/training #dataSharing #dataLibs

We've just added our blog to @admin some of our blogposts get a fair number of citations, and they now have a DOI (and are additionally archived via Zenodo), improving citability and ensuring longterm access. Plus, our searchable blogroll over there looks great: https://rogue-scholar.org/blogs/qdr

Good to see our curators enjoying themselves this Monday morning...

Just up on @SocArXivBot "A Transparency Checklist for Qualitative Research" by Lori Frohwirth, Tammy Lever, and myself https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/wc35g/
Inspired by Lori's work championing transparent qualitative research at the Guttmacher Institute, we develop a flexible checklist for qualitative researchers. The checklist itself is on Zenodo: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4266635 A short 🧵 1/n

The Metascience 2023 conference agenda is live!

https://metascience.info/agenda/

A stellar line-up of presenters with huge disciplinary diversity, but all with a shared interest in understanding and improving science.

In our latest interview on preprints and the future of peer review, Marcel LaFlamme (@marcellaflamme) of @PLOS spoke to us about the relationship between Review Commons and our partner journals, how peer review work deserves proper credit and a look to the future of machine-assisted peer review.

Via Nic Weber, this automated transcription tool looks amazing for #qualitativeResearch (and more): https://github.com/chidiwilliams/buzz a lot of the existing auto tools require uploading the file with all sorts of potential privacy & data protection issues (see e.g. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/16/my-journey-down-the-rabbit-hole-of-every-journalists-favorite-app-00009216 on Otter.ai/Zoom).
This tool runs entirely local, using OpenAI's Whisper technology.

There's much more diversity among political scientists *using* #qualitativeResearch methods than those *developing* qualitative methodology. APSA's section on Qualitative & Multi-Method Research has several initiatives to increase diversity in qualitative methodology. One is the Emerging Methodologist Workshop right before APSA, fully funded, and , open to ECR's at US institutions.

Are you using Zoom or Otter.ai automated transcription but aren't interested in creating subtitles, just want a clean transcript?
I've put together a short #rstats script that takes a .vtt file and turns it into a nicely formatted .txt file. https://github.com/QualitativeDataRepository/curation-scripts/blob/main/vtt-clean.R

We're so pleased to see @peterfugiel did not only write sharing of interview data from his #NSF funded study on the effect of #fairWorkWeek campaigns into his grant: it's right there in the summary!

Are you at the #PRIM&R conference? Our senior curator Dessi Kirilova will present (jointly with Diana Kapiszewski & Ying Zhang) initial results from a super interesting project tracking shifting IRB's guidance on data sharing over the last decade.
(For anyone not at PRIM&R, we hope to have a preprint out early next year)
