The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) at the Maxwell School has partnered with Cambridge University Press and Hypothesis to pioneer a new approach to making qualitative and multi-method research more transparent.

Readers are able to view annotations immediately alongside the main text, removing the need to jump to footnotes or separate appendices.
