How to deal with the observer’s paradox in qualitative research? Is qualitative data suitable to be re-analyzed by someone other than those who collect it? Is this only a technical problem that can be addressed through an adequate methodology, or does it imply a broader issue with the push for open data vs. the epistemological boundaries of different data types and research models?
Andrew Moravcsik (Princeton), has since a decade proposed Active Citation, a structured citation method that complements the sharing of qualitative data to increase analytical transparency and reproducibility. Active citation forms the basis for the Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI), a tool that allows scholars to “annotate” passages in their publication with additional notes about how the underlying data related to that passage was generated and analyzed, and with links to the underlying data sources. ATI was developed in cooperation with the Qualitative Data Repository of Syracuse University and is employed by Cambridge Core.
Two events will be held to discuss the contribution of active citation and open data to transparency and reproducibility in research. Andrew will introduce Active Citation and discuss its relevance and relationship to legal scholarship and qualitative research in the social sciences in a round table with academics at the Erasmus School of Law and others present at 14.00.
At 16.00, Andrew will hold a workshop with graduate students of EGSL and EGSH on Active Citation in practice.
This event is a part of the Open and Responsible Science Campaign at EUR. Please check the campaign page for information about other events in this series.

Speaker
Andrew Moravscik is Professor of Politics and International Affairs, and Director of the Liechtenstein Institute on Self-Determination and the European Union Program at Princeton University. His analytic history of the EU, The Choice for Europe, has been called "the most important work in the field."
He developed “active citation” (ATI), an increasingly widespread transparency standard for digital qualitative research. He served in policy positions as a US government trade negotiator, special assistant to the Deputy Prime Minister of Korea, and press assistant at the European Commission.
He has published over 150 opinion pieces and policy analyses, and currently serves as Book Review Editor (Europe) at Foreign Affairs. His scholarship and commentary on classical music, particularly opera, have appeared in The Financial Times, New York Times and elsewhere, and he conducts scholarly research on the sociology of music.
