Much of the conversation about transparency is focused on quantitative studies. In part, this because it is unclear to many of us how qualitative research even can be replicated. Dr. Karcher has done it, and will walk you through how to design and implement your qualitative studies so they are replicable.

• Keynote – 9 -10 a.m.: Dr. Karcher will discuss the challenge and introduce practical approaches to transparency in qualitative research.

• Workshop – 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.: We will go in-depth throughout the lifecycle of a qualitative project, starting with planning and collecting data, preparing data for sharing, and supplying supplementary information and data to accompany published results.

• Participants are encouraged (but not required) to bring their own research projects – at any stage of the research process and consult with Dr. Karcher.

Dr. Sebastian Karcher is the Associate Director of the Qualitative Data Repository at Syracuse University. He is an active contributor to several scholarly open source projects, including Zotero and the Citation Style Language, and has taught widely on digital technology and data management.
