The University of Iowa is now a member of QDR!
The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) is a dedicated and secure archive for preserving and sharing digital data (and accompanying documentation) generated or collected through qualitative and multi-method research.
QDR welcomes deposits of digital data from University of Iowa researchers at no cost during the 2019-20 academic year.
QDR hopes to expand and improve the use of qualitative data in the evaluation of social science research, in scholarly production and sharing, and in teaching. By increasing researcher visibility, the repository induces intellectual exchange by making it easy for other scholars to find, use, and cite deposited data.
QDR membership offers a range of guidance, resources and user support services to facilitate and encourage the storing and sharing of data. The repository is hosted by: Center for Qualitative and Multi-Method Inquiry at Syracuse University.
QDR is being funded at the University of Iowa by the University Libraries and the Iowa Social Science Research Center.
