QDR conducts research to advance the possibilities for transparency in qualitative and multi-method research.
- Learn about Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI), which allows you to “annotate” specific passages in an article. Annotations amplify the text and, when possible, include a link to one or more data sources underlying a claim.
- As part of "Working with Sensitive Research Data" (WSRD), we foster dialog between researchers, data repositories, IRBs, and other stakeholders.
