The researcher followed Open Research Data guidelines and found optimal solutions to pseudonymise data, but this later evolved into a deep epistemological questioning on praxis. During the first phase of the project, a tailor-made software was developed with help from librarians and an IT professional to automate the pseudonymisation of the 150 data chunks generated by 16 students, 3 tutors and 3 decision makers. In the second phase of the project, this experience sparked questions about the meaning of such data handling and interpretations of Open Science, which led the researcher to suggest a framework for the professional development of qualitative researchers in their understanding of Open Science. The article raises awareness of normative frameworks in institutional data handling practices and calls for active contributions to defining qualitative research in an Open Science perspective, particularly taking as a reference the recent draft recommendation by UNESCO (2020)</p> Open science Data handling Pseudonymisation Epistemological questioning Dewey 020 Dewey 371.33 133 Division de l'information scientifique 0CM 110 Technologies de formation et apprentissage 73 false 631 Technologies de formation et d'apprentissage (TECFA) International journal of qualitative methods 20 299f971c-406b-468b-ba98-8e471e66fbd7 Article (Published version) Public Article-scientifique-from-unpaywall.pdf 1283693 application/pdf CC BY-NC openAccess Rectorat et administration / Division de l'information scientifique Faculté de psychologie et des sciences de l'éducation / Technologies de formation et apprentissage
