| Summary: | Linguists have a responsibility to themselves, their peers and successors to make research data available, and not to squander time, effort and resources by not storing recordings carefully in ways that they are consultable, and amenable to analysis/re-analysis. This means archiving is important. Those making recordings from subjects outside the academy need to think about how permissions for archiving are managed. Ethical guidelines often are not helpful for archiving. Anonymisation may be appropriate for versions made available online but should not be applied across the board. Care should be exercised when choosing digital formats, thinking in the long term data should be stored uncompressed in standard interchange formats using open standards. |
