The kinds of records that my project will produce will be
ethnographic. For my proposed research I intend to take intensive fieldnotes,
photographic inventory, interviews/transcripts, and collections of documents. From
an anthropological background, I have learned to store my research for physical
documents, in a locked drawer or box, and the digital documents stored on a
external drive, encrypted with a passcode for access.
For ethical concerns, as I will be dealing with National
Team athletes, and a somewhat sensitive topic, I do intend to keep my
participants anonymous. Therefore I will need a document that distinguishes a
code and pseudo names to ensure that each participant’s identity will be kept
private, which I will plan to store in an encrypted file. Along with this
document I will keep the consent forms. While I could have an option to destroy
the contents of this project after it is completed, I have yet to decide whether
or not I will do this. I have done this in the past, and I am not sure if it
was worth it. I might give the participants the option of whether or not they
would like the data they provide me to be destroyed after a certain amount of
time. This way I can adhere to my participants needs.
