Semi-structured interviews with linguists about Open Science

This dataset contains the anonymised transcripts of 26 semi-structured interviews conducted with linguistics students and researchers between late February and early April 2025. The interviews were conducted by Elen Le Foll via Zoom and last around half-an-hour (range: 13–52 min). All were conducted in English except one (A01 in German).

They were first transcribed using a local installation of Whisper (Radford et al. 2022). The automatic transcriptions were subsequently manually checked, corrected, and anonymised by two student research assistants, Vishar Kavehamoli and Julia Weinberger, and Elen Le Foll. 

The coding was performed by Elen Le Foll using OpenQDA (Belli et al. 2025). The CSV file contains all the coded passages and their corresponding categories, as exported from OpenQDA. Note that passages may be listed several times, if they were assigned several codes.
