摘要

Research funders worldwide are starting to mandate open access data be output alongside publications, often brandishing the threat of defunding research as a form of governmentality to counter non-compliance - including for interpretivist-inspired research. In configuring a regime of open research, their impetus is steeped within a democratic ethos of transparency derived from scientific revolution and Enlightenment thinking. However, doing so risks epistemic oppression, shoe-horning research into formats that privilege realist modes of inquiry. Drawing on primary research with qualitative researchers (including a scoping survey, semi-structured interviews, and a stakeholder workshop) paired with a review of literature across eight academic databases, we propose ‘re-renderability’ as an alternative to reproducibility and replicability. renderability’ as an alternative to reproducibility and replicability. Albeit we do so by embracing a broader, philosophical view of science, as Hegel’s die Wissenschaft, and not as parochially STEM-centric. We argue re-renderability offers a better fit for interpretivist-aligned research, where a ‘storying the story’ of analysis supplants assumptions of directly repeatability and/or any supposed disentanglement of researcher from context, whilst enabling interpretivist researchers’ claims to be opened for evaluation and scrutiny. Moreover, re-renderability remains sensitive a much broader array of approaches.
