This document provides an overview of the Qualitative Data Repository's (QDR) internal curation process. The process includes standardized steps from depositor contact, file processing procedures and Dataverse repository operations, to publication of the data project and thereafter.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for curating new datasets deposited in Dataverse. The guide is framed around the acronym CURATION to provide an easy reminder for curators, especially those starting out, of the main steps in the curation process. This framework is adapted from the Data Curation Network’s CURATED steps for use in a bilingual context.
