Abstract
Description
There is a growing movement for research data to be accessed, used, and shared by multiple stakeholders for various purposes.
The changing technological landscape makes it possible to digitally store data, creating opportunity to both share and reuse data
anywhere in the world for later use. This movement is growing rapidly and becoming widely accepted as publicly funded agencies
are mandating that researchers open their research data for sharing and reuse. While there are numerous advantages to use of
open data, such as facilitating accountability and transparency, not all data are created equally. Accordingly, reusing data in
qualitative research present some epistemological, methodological, legal, and ethical issues that must be addressed in the
movement toward open data. We examine some of these challenges and make a case that some qualitative research data should
not be reused in secondary analysis.
