The University of Pennsylvania Libraries recently became an institutional member of the Qualitative Data Repository, a dedicated repository for storing and sharing qualitative and multi-method data. Our institutional membership supports the curation and preservation of 20 data projects deposited by Penn faculty, students, and research staff. In addition to providing support for data deposit, QDR provides expert guidance on informed consent, writing data management plans for qualitative data, and more.
If you are a researcher working in qualitative methods, please contact Lynda Kellam in Research Data & Digital Scholarship at Penn Libraries (LibraryRDDS@pobox.upenn.edu) for more information or to get started.
The QDR is hosted by the Center for Qualitative and Multi-Method Inquiry, a unit of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University.
