Summary:

The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) is a dedicated archive for storing and sharing digital data (and accompanying documentation) generated or collected through qualitative and multi-method research in the social sciences. QDR provides search tools to facilitate the discovery of data, and also serves as a portal to material beyond its own holdings, with links to U.S. and international archives. The repository?s initial emphasis is on political science. Four beliefs underpin the repository's mission: data that can be shared and reused should be; evidence-based claims should be made transparently; teaching is enriched by the use of well-documented data; and rigorous social science requires common understandings of its research methods.

The source of this description is the metadata record on FAIRsharing.org, an educational and informative resource that describes and links databases, standards, and data policies. FAIRsharing also creates collections of these resources and recommendations of databases and standards based on 3rd party data policies.

Notes:

In addition to accessing their current data catalog and collection, Penn has an institutional membership that supports the curation and preservation of data projects deposited by faculty, students, and research staff (more information here: https://qdr.syr.edu/membership). Researchers working in qualitative methods interested in learning more about the institutional membership services should please contact Lynda Kellam (https://www.library.upenn.edu/people/staff/lynda-kellam)
