The Ohio State University Libraries is an institutional member of the Qualitative Data Repository (QDR), a dedicated archive for preserving and sharing digital data and accompanying documentation generated or collected through qualitative and multi-method research in the social sciences and related disciplines. Institutional membership to QDR provides researchers at Ohio State access to curation and archiving services for qualitative data at no cost and access to member-only events. Institutional members also shape QDR by participating in its governance.
For more information about University Libraries’ institutional QDR membership or to gain authorization for project submission, please contact Kelsey Badger, Research Data Librarian. Kelsey also provides Research Data consultation through the Research Commons on best practices in research data management and sharing, tools and workflows for scientific reproducibility, and the discovery and (re)use of open and proprietary data sources.
