Qualitative Data Repository (QDR)

Human moderation for each deposit and interviews with researchers (https://qdr.syr.edu/deposit/process). Creation of specific documentation (data narrative) to provide context for the collected survey data.

Commitment to data preservation for a minimum of 25 years. Membership in the ''Data Preservation Alliance for the Social Sciences'' to ensure a continuity plan in the event of cessation of operations.

Please note that this repository may charge fees for institutions that are not members of QDR. While the service remains free for depositing data related to thesis work, in other cases it may incur fees ranging from $300 to $1,200 depending on the volume of data deposited and the curation effort required (particularly to preserve the anonymity of respondents). The anonymization process is subject to guidelines presented here https://qdr.syr.edu/guidance/human-participants/deidentification, in addition to the consent collection process described here: https://qdr.syr.edu/guidance/human-participants/informed-consent. Embargo: The embargo may be extended beyond one year in certain specific cases (protection of individuals).
