PIPE-FAR: Generation of a Pipeline for Findable, Accessible and Reusable Data in Social Science Research[Bearbeiten]Projektbeschreibung[Bearbeiten]Open access in social sciences is rarely thought in terms of opening research data. There are numerous reasons for skepticism towards open data especially in qualitative research, the most important of which is difficulty of anonymization of participants’ identity and personal information in cases of ethnographic/interview based research. With the program Freies Wissen, I aim to produce a detailed data management plan of my prospective research project. Furthermore, I aim to put my experience in developing this model into other researchers’ use. First, with this stipend I aim to produce a PIPEline of making my research data Findable, Accessible and Reusable (PIPE-FAR) before even starting my research, in which scientists (current and past members of a specific research group in Australia) are going to be my interview partners. In order to produce this PIPE-FAR, I plan to discuss with my future interview partners the collection and the use of interview data on the basis of a proposed research and data management plan, which I will prepare in the first half of the Freies Wissen program. As part of this plan, I will systematize structured interviews to break data into components that cannot be tracked/linked back to other information in the rest of the interview (categorically broken interview segments), create an informed consent system for my interview partners that would allow them to control access conditions on the entire interview (i.e. open access, access with approval, no external access) and parts of the interview (i.e. making segments of the transcript “off the record”), and lastly, develop a website where data will be hosted and disseminated. Second, upon the conclusion of the program, I will publish a document that details the development of PIPE-FAR that may be helpful and informative for social scientists, who aim to conduct their research with an open data plan. This document will be prepared as a guideline to open data management based on a specific case, and as such it can be thought as an open method. However, the term model or method in this context does not connote applicability to any social science project, rather it will serve as a case. I will also make use of institutional blog of Science and Technology Studies Department at University of Vienna to write about my experience with the Freies Wissen program publicizing the outcome of this project (the guidelines towards PIPE-FAR and their production: the website).
