This dataset contains pseudonymised interview transcripts between data author Penders with the other data authors (as interviewer and interviewee, respectively). The data description file discloses which authors are the authors of which of the data files. All data authors agreed to disclose their identity as interviewer and interviewees, respectively.
The seven interview transcripts that are available here are part of a larger dataset of thirteen interviews. For the remaining six, the interviewees did not provide permission for sharing. They are stored on Maastricht University servers and are not available for sharing.
The Data Steward sought legal advice from the Privacy Team regarding the sharing of interview transcripts. While the participants expressed a desire to contribute to Open Science by sharing their data, privacy concerns presented a challenge. To reconcile these interests, the participants were classified as data authors rather than data subjects. This approach allows for data sharing without compromising privacy. However, it's important to note that the institution, as the data owner, bears sole responsibility for data curation and archival.
