Il riutilizzo dei dati qualitativi : opportunità e sfide

The article explores opportunities and challenges related to the re-use of qualitative data in social research. It also focuses on the strategies developed by research infrastructures to promote and facilitate informed data use. In the Italian context, the practices related to the re-use of qualitative data are not sufficiently explored and require that the scientific community deal with some important ethical, legal, epistemological and methodological issues. In order to share data, it is important to adopt, from the earliest stages of research, a plan for the management of qualitative materials with a data life cycle perspective. [Publisher's text].
