Did you know that quantitative research data isn’t the only type of data that can be shared? Qualitative data (for example, interviews) has unique considerations that must be taken into account when it comes to sharing, such as removing personally identifiable information, providing copies of semi-structured interview guides, and documenting coding schemas (if applicable). Despite these factors, it is still important to share qualitative data. In this Nudge, we list places where qualitative data can be shared.
