Access to the dataset
The dataset is accessible for research only, and will only be provided to researchers and student upon application. All use of the dataset will be regulated in a data transfer agreement between C-REX and the researchers institution.
Use of data
Direct quotations from each specific interview are limited to max. 500 words in one quote, and a total of max. 1500 words by combining several quotations from the same interview in one academic work (article/thesis/book, etc.). Combining quotations from several interviews may exceed this limit.
Using data from the FORMERS dataset is contingent on crediting the dataset. This should be stated briefly when introducing data the first time in the academic text, and specified further - either in the section on methods and data, or at least in a note that should contain the following, or a variety thereof:
“This project/article/chapter makes use of interview data from the FORMERS dataset, an Open Science dataset based at the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX), University of Oslo. Several researchers, belonging to different institutions, have contributed their interviews to this shared dataset. The persons interviewed have all signed an agreement of informed consent that their interview may be shared with other researchers for academic purposes, specifying what degree of anonymisation they require. For more information about the FORMERS dataset, see https://www.sv.uio.no/c-rex/english/groups/formers/.”
Sharing of data
Access to the FORMERS dataset is regulated by the data transfer agreement of Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX), University of Oslo.
Those given access to the dataset are NOT permitted to share the interviews with others. Other potential users must apply the Center for Research on Extremism (C-REX) for access and sign the data transfer agreement.
