What is the difference between quantitative and qualitative data? Why is data preservation and sharing so important? What role does trust play in the data repository world?

We discuss these questions and more in this episode with Dr. Sebastian Karcher, the associate director of the Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) at Syracuse University.  QDR is an innovative project dedicated to the longterm management and archiving of qualitative data while most repositories focus solely on quantitative data preservation. By enabling easier data sharing between researchers and offering a variety of support services, the QDR team is facilitating more rigorous research and robust findings.

UNC-Chapel Hill is now a proud institutional member of QDR - but what does that mean for Carolina's researchers? Listen to find out!
