[WIP] Amending Open Research to be more inclusive of qualitative research

[Elisa-on-GitHub]

Summary

See also issue #2358 about including information for managing qualitative research (data). This is a separate issue to amend the Open Research subchapter (in the Guide for Reproducible Research). In this subchapter, a page on documentation other than notebooks needs to be added to include qualitative research in the guide. The Checklist then needs to be adapted to include the essential recommendations made on that page.

What needs to be done?

• Add a page on documentation in the Open Research subchapter
• Add the essential recommendations to the Checklist
• Check the other pages in that chapter to see if anything needs to be amended

Who can help?

• @Karvovskaya
• @LauraCarter
• @malvikasharan as one of the original authors for the section
• @paulowoicho as one of the original authors for the section and the checklist page
• @EstherPlomp as one of the original authors for the section

Updates

This is still very much WIP

Potential adaptations to the current chapter:

• On the intro page add a clarification that Open Data means Open Documentation as well.

@Elisa-on-GitHub - I've been meaning to write a chapter on ethnography since I started! This is a reminder to finally get started on that this year.

I also created/maintain a small project called open source social science, and was thinking that some of these tools can be added to the guides as well: https://open-source-social-science.github.io/

Ran into some resources that could be added:

• Steltenpohl et al. 2023 (although I do still need to actually read this)
• Qualitative data resources: https://twitter.com/hansijzerman/status/1215634331454124038
• Qualitative data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjznmX5pHYM
• Qualitative data: Chauvette et al. 2019 qualitative

• Making Qualitative Data Reusable A Short Guidebook For Researchers And Data Stewards Working With Qualitative Data

I doubt I have any time this bookdash to work on things - but who knows :)
