Hi! My name is Ella in this video I will read you a 
text by a doctoral student about how they archived  

2
00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:20.640
their research data so the topic of the video 
is archiving research data for my PhD research  

3
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:27.280
in creative writing I produced ethnographic 
data there is another video about this process  

4
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:33.840
I conducted my research in collaboration with the 
university of Turku so my data was archived at  

5
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.440
the archive of the school of history culture 
and art studies of the university of Turku  

6
00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:46.000
the archive keeps records for example photographs 
recorded interviews and interview transcripts  

7
00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:51.360
produced by students and researchers from the 
different departments of the school of history  

8
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:57.760
culture and arts studies the archived materials 
are available for the purposes of scientific  

9
00:00:57.760 --> 00:01:03.680
research and education in recent years there's 
been a lot of discussion about the principles  

10
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.240
of open science according to which also research 
data should when possible be publicly available  

11
00:01:10.960 --> 00:01:16.800
on the other hand changes in legislation on 
collecting and storing personal information  

12
00:01:16.800 --> 00:01:22.080
have also had their effect on research making 
it all the more important that researchers  

13
00:01:22.080 --> 00:01:28.080
have a clear idea about what kind of data 
they are producing collecting and storing  

14
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:34.480
archives have a lot of know-how in these questions 
and I was very grateful to have this kind of  

15
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:41.120
support available at the university of Jyväskylä 
there's no archive for students research data so  

16
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:47.360
all of this is not necessarily applicable there 
is however support available for both students  

17
00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:54.480
and researchers for researchers there are also 
several tools provided by the university I had  

18
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:59.920
already made an agreement with the archive about 
storing my research data at the beginning of my  

19
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:06.160
research process when I had produced all the data 
I needed I made an appointment at the archive and  

20
00:02:06.160 --> 00:02:12.000
took with me the consent forms my research 
participant had signed as well as the data  

21
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:18.880
itself the interview files in mp3 format 
and the transcriptions I had printed out  

22
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.200
the consent form my research participants signed 
was basically just a document stating they were  

23
00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:30.800
okay with the interview being archived the rules 
of the archive are printed on the other side of  

24
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:36.080
the form the participants could also tick 
a box about referencing the material using  

25
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:42.080
their personal information such as their year of 
birth in my study I don't share any information  

26
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:48.720
like that about the people I interviewed I had 
organized the sound and word files by numbers  

27
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.960
in chronological order the transcript files were 
named in the same way so it is easy to see which  

28
00:02:54.960 --> 00:03:01.920
interview file and which transcript file belong 
together each interview was given an identifier  

29
00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:08.240
a code that I use when quoting my data so after 
each interview quote there is a code indicating  

30
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:14.560
the collection the form of data photograph or 
audio file for example the year of archiving  

31
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:21.600
and the page number of the interview transcript 
file the archive also records metadata information  

32
00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:28.000
about the data in my case this meant contextual 
information about the interviews what kind of  

33
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:33.840
interviews they were for what purpose they were 
made and what kind of subjects were talked about  

34
00:03:34.480 --> 00:03:39.520
they are also given key words so that 
it'll be easier for future researchers  


35
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.520
to find them from the archive database it is 
possible for the researcher to set restrictions  

36
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:51.760
for the use of the data for example my data will 
only be available for other researchers after  

37
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:58.880
I have published my findings in my PhD however 
archiving research data means it'll eventually  

38
00:03:58.880 --> 00:04:04.400
be available for future researchers who may have 
new and different frameworks for approaching it  

39
00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:11.520
it also strengthens the reliability of the 
research for example it'll be possible to  

40
00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:18.160
check if I have quoted my interviewees correctly 
archives have a long and interesting history they  

41
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.480
have been important for research but also in the 
creation of collective memory what is archived  

42
00:04:24.480 --> 00:04:31.520
is always also a question of cultural values 
what do we think is worth keeping and storing  

43
00:04:31.520 --> 00:04:43.200
I think of archives as a part of the story we tell 
ourselves about our past present and future
