Session description
Heterogeneous data management practices have left the research data ecosystem messy and cluttered, worsening the problem of data reuse.
To enable effective reuse, this ecosystem needs to be decluttered and organised. Efforts to address this include making data FAIR by promoting standard research data management practices.
Yet, while these efforts have received significant support, they have also encountered some resistance. Typically, reasons for such resistance pertain to the resource-intensive nature of data management.
In this special Open Access Week edition of the Research Data Insider, Anamika Chatterjee (PhD) will explore another reason for such resistance: scientists hold differing definitions of ‘purity’ and ‘pollution’.

Session description
Research funders, institutions, and academic journals increasingly require that raw data, where possible, be shared openly through public repositories. This boosts transparency and reproducibility of research, but also unlocks new possibilities through re-use, i.e. secondary data analysis.
When data is reused for purposes beyond its original intent, it can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. What’s more, by combining datasets from different sources, researchers can uncover insights no single team would have been able to achieve alone, or build consensus on complex scientific questions.
Yet, making sense of someone else’s data isn’t always easy. What are the challenges of interpreting and integrating datasets generated by others? Why is it crucial that the FAIR principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Resuable, are followed when data are shared?
In this session, we’ll hear from two experienced practitioners of secondary data analysis. Join us to learn how FAIR data can lead to new discoveries — and what it takes to make that happen.

Sharing qualitative data poses many ethical, legal and practical challenges. At the same time, many qualitative datasets, for example rich interview data or video recordings, have a high reuse value and could provide unique benefits for researchers and communities when shared.
In this webinar we will be joined by three special guests from different disciplines and different areas of qualitative inquiry to discuss the unique contexts in which qualitative data sharing should not only be considered but also encouraged and those where a push for openness can lead to many ethical dilemmas or even harm.
Our answer is that one solution simply cannot fit all and qualitative data sharing should be assessed individually, taking into consideration contextual information on the background, method, research tradition and participating communities.
At the same time, we will also strive to provide here some general suggestions, guidance and/or inspiration for students, researchers and research support staff working with qualitative approaches or data sharing more broadly.
