 Welcome to this UK Data Service Guide, citing Qualibank data. This guide shows you how to cite Qualibank data obtained from the UK Data Service. The UK Data Service has a searchable data catalogue, which enables access to data suitable for research and teaching purposes. The range of types of data that are available from the catalogue include survey microdata, census data, international macro data, and qualitative and mixed methods data. This video explains how to cite Qualibank data. Qualitative and mixed methods data, which are not in Qualibank, are cited in exactly the same way as survey microdata. Please refer to our video citing survey data for more details. Qualibank allows exploring of the UK Data Service's collection of qualitative data objects. Here you can access a variety of data objects, as well as the metadata describing them. A citation can be made for the whole data object, such as an interview transcript, or for just part of it. In this example, you can see the catalogue record for a particular interview. This interview is one from the family life and work experience before 1918 collection by Paul Thompson, also known as the Edwardians. To the left-hand side, circled in red, is a link that enables the creation of a citation. You choose the part of the interview that you wish to cite using the up and down arrows to highlight the paragraphs, and then create the citation by using the retrieve citation link on the left-hand side. This results in citation ready in the correct format for you to copy and paste. You can select the citation text by using the link Select the Text Above, which is available while I do the citation text. You can also check that this will take you to the text you have chosen by previewing the citation URL in action. The GUID at the end of the citation is a persistent identifier for the text. For more information, including additional video guides about data citation and why you should cite data, please see the UK Data Service's Citing Data webpage.
