Archive Ethnography: What is the main argument, narrative, or e/affect?

With recent advancements in technology and calls within the social sciences to make data transparent and accessible, the authors claim that ethnographers need to reconsider their data management and sharing practices. Murphy et al. argue that transparency of ethnographic data collection and sharing processes is important not for replication of the research, but for reanalysis. The authors focus on four areas of the ethnographic research process (recording and collecting data, anonymizing, data verification, and data sharing) and provide a review of how ethnographers and social science in general could benefit from making adjustments to these steps that facilitates transparency and data sharing.
