Qualitative sub-study of the "VORAUS" project

The project "VORAUS: Further developing established quality assurance formats: Which VORreservations and consensuses does a partially randomised SELECTION of research projects encounter in the scientific field?" was funded by the BMBF from April 2019 to March 2022.
The study investigated reservations and consensus in the scientific field regarding partial randomisation. On this basis, it was clarified what is currently considered appropriate in science. Prior to a quantitative survey on the topic, the data from which is also available as a data package (DOI: https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:vorausquanti:1.0.0), problem-centred interviews were conducted with scientists from different status groups in the qualitative sub-study. In a narrative part of the interviews, the interviewees were asked about their path into research. Questions were asked about their experiences with research funding, their attitudes towards ensuring scientific quality in research funding and the randomised selection of research proposals. The present data package comprises a total of 18 transcripts of six interviews each with professors, post-docs and doctoral students.

项目“VORAUS：进一步发展既有的质量保证格式：部分随机选择的科研项目在科学领域中遭遇哪些VOR保留意见和共识？”自2019年4月起由德国联邦教育与研究部（BMBF）资助，直至2022年3月。该研究探讨了科学领域中关于部分随机化的保留意见和共识。在此基础上，明确了当前科学界认为适宜的内容。在开展定量调查之前，本研究通过对不同地位群体的科学家进行以问题为中心的定性访谈，从而对目前科学界认为适宜的内容进行了梳理。该数据包包含一项定量调查的数据，这些数据也以数据包的形式提供（DOI：https://doi.org/10.21249/DZHW:vorausquanti:1.0.0）。在访谈的叙述部分，受访者被问及他们进入研究领域的路径。询问了他们在研究资金方面的经验，以及他们对确保研究资金中科学质量以及随机选择研究提案的态度。本数据包总共有18份访谈记录，每份访谈包含6位教授、博士后和博士研究生的记录。
