Data Availability Statement

In compliance with the  Decree on the implementation of scientific research work in accordance with the principles of open science and the requirements of the Slovenian Research and Innovation Agency, all articles published in Anthropological Notebooks are suggested to contain a Data Availability Statement in line with the open science principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary”.

As editors of a journal with a strong emphasis on anthropological and ethnographic research, we are aware that authors use a broad range of sources, documents, materials, as well as ideas and knowledges, not all of which can be classified as research data. Ethnographic material is not merely obtained, but is a “situated knowledge” co-conducted and co-made in the interrelation between anthropologist and their interlocutors in a specific social and cultural context. Therefore, it cannot be defined as a sheer object that can be measured or repeated nor be considered in terms of commodity and part of data management. Ethnographic research always carries ethical, epistemic, and contextual weight and cannot be fully shared for legal, ethical, or other valid reasons (protection of personal data such as EU General Data Protection Regulation; socially sensitive or secret information regulated by legislation; or data involving security risks).

For additional information concerning data management in ethnographic research, authors may contact the editors of Anthropological Notebooks (ngregoric@zrc-sazu.si or musaraj@ohio.edu); or may also consult the guidelines of international anthropological associations such as  EASA, Research Ethics in Ethnography/Anthropology, European Comission, SAA, AAA.
