Qualiservice at SOCIUM Research Center on Inequality and Social Policy
Qualiservice has extensive experience in the processing and provision of particularly sensitive research data and already holds interesting datasets from racism and migration research for the planned data portal. In addition to expertise in handling sensitive data, Qualiservice has experience in advising and supporting researchers who share and/or work with this data, which is a great advantage for the development of the planned data portal. The counselling is subject and study-specific. Specialist experts curate the research data and prepare it for subsequent use. Internationally compatible metadata makes datasets searchable and findable. Persistent identifiers (DOI) ensure that data and study contexts can be cited in the long term.
Since 2021, Qualiservice has been coordinating the establishment of a network for qualitative research data (QualidataNet) as part of the National Research Data Infrastructure (NFDI) in the SWD consortium. Here, and also as a cooperation partner in the VerbundFDB (German Network for Educational Research Data), Qualiservice works in federated archiving infrastructures such as those planned for DP-R|EX. As long-standing cooperation partners, Qualiservice and GESIS also offer researchers the option of distributed archiving of mixed methods studies.
In June 2020, the head of Qualiservice, Prof. Dr. Betina Hollstein, was appointed to the RatSWD by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. This is the first time that a qualitative data infrastructure has been represented on the Council. Qualiservice is committed to the DFG (German Research Foundation) guidelines for safeguarding good scientific practice and also takes into account the FAIR principles and the OECD Principles and Guidelines for Access to Research Data from Public Funding.
