QDR staff specialize in qualitative research methods and data curation and are able to assist Temple researchers throughout the research process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Benefits of using QDR include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Detailed data curation assistance to ensure deposited data is fully de-identified, annotated, and ready for sharing&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tiered levels of data access including the ability to restrict access to sensitive data&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Persistent identifiers to make data discoverable and citable&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data metrics including views, downloads, and citations to track impact&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/qdr.syr.edu\/qdr-resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guidance and documentation<\/a> on qualitative research and data management topic such as working with human participant data, data management planning, deidentifying data, and conducting disclosure risk review &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Our membership supports a limited number of no-cost data deposits per year by Temple researchers. Researchers should register for a QDR account using their Temple email address to download or deposit data.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, potential depositors should contact QDR early in their project, before data collection occurs, to receive guidance on designing data collection and data management planning for grant submissions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are applying for a large or multi-year grant, please consult with QDR before designating them as a repository. There may be additional costs for large-scale or multi-year projects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Data Sharing at Temple<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the increase in funder-mandated data management planning and sharing requirements, researchers must carefully consider how they will responsibly share their research data. In addition to the Qualitative Data Repository, Temple University is also <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.temple.edu\/ICPSR\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a member of ICPSR<\/a>, and has its own institutional repository, <a href=\"https:\/\/scholarshare.temple.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TUScholarShare<\/a>, that can curate deidentified data.
