We are fortunate that the ESRC has supported the sharing of over 1000 data collections we can explore to see what UK qualitative researchers have already archived
The UK Data Service promotes the sharing of context lebanon rcs data alongside data and has developed systems and approaches to encourage the future-proofing of data, including the handbook Managing and Sharing Data – A Guide to Good Practice, published by Sage in 2014.
Haaker (PDF) shows us examples from the UK Data Service data catalogue of supporting contextual materials from archived research datasets that help researchers understand the data and the research process:
Anti-politics: Characterising and Accounting for Political Disaffection, 2011-2012
Conservation, markets and justice – Part 2: Ethnographic participatory video data
Data journals such as The Journal of Open Heath Data further provide a further valuable outlet for describing the rationale and methods that created a published dataset.
