Reading Recommendation: Replicating Secondary Qualitative Data

While quantitative research data is increasingly shared and used for secondary research, secondary qualitative data analysis (SQDA) is less common. Florian G. Kern and Katariina Mustasilta discuss the challenges and opportunities related to secondary qualitative data analysis in political science. Their results show, that SQDA "largely depends on how primary researchers share their ‘raw’ qualitative data, that is, interview and focus group transcripts in our example study, as well as the additional documentation to understand primary context". The article "Beyond Replication: Secondary Qualitative Data Analysis in Political Science" was published online first in Comparative Political Studies and is available in open access.
