The 40-minute interview is about a lecturer's experience with teaching tertiary international students. I find what I said in the interview might be very interesting and helpful to my colleagues and my students.
Yes, I guess you have to because that is to me violating the intellectual property rights and copy right unless it is placed in Open education Resources (OER).
It is a very good question as it highlights the need to agree on the rights to own/share data between a researcher and participants in a study. Evidently, this can be a grey area in qualitative research.
To me, you definitely have the right to share your opinion (the one you gave during the interview) with your colleagues. However, perhaps it was the researcher who had developed a sequence of questions in such a way that it permitted to "extract" valuable insights which would otherwise remain unvoiced and implicit. Then, the researcher has the right to protect his or her intellectual property, i.e., the sequence in which the interview was structured. He or she, however, might agree to let respondents to share some parts of the interview with other parties.
Perhaps, it would be fair to talk to the researcher about this. Especially, if you plan to share the whole of the interview session.
I agree with Larisa. Additionally, since you consented to participate in the study it is my opinion that the data should be used for answering the research questions as intended by the researcher. Having a dialogue with the researcher would be helpful.
if I were in your shoe, since it is my story, I could share some of it orally with my colleagues but not necessarily the audio file form the interview.
There are some ethical consideration you need to put them into account.First,you need to consent your participants about this before conducting your interviews if they agreed in a written form you may share them.Secondly, if the topic of the interview is a bit sensitive in this case you may need to avoid such interviews.
In this situation where you are the interviewee I would wonder why you would have the audio recording of your interview in the first place? Under normal circumstances this would be with the researcher who would choose to code it, compare and contrast it with other interviews and publish summary findings. The full raw audio would not be released. Neither would your opinions be linked directly to you (at least not identifiably)
if you were to release the full audio, you would potentially undermine the research by publishing just a single opinion rather than a distilled summary, with the same "weight" as the research.
I would think it would be considered OK to release your own summary of your own opinion; it's your opinion after all. But the original, full text audio should probably end up in the research archives.
Furthermore, to me Online Research is no different from the manual research rules and regulations. All should follow the same Research Ethics. Online research is just converting what was manual to what is electronic. Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical principles to a variety of topics involving research, including Online Scientific Research.
A nice question. This dilemma is very common for any researcher whether to share the information of an interviewee to others. You can quote without mentioning the name of the interviewee but not otherwise.
If you are conducting a study then you need IRB approval and you should have the interviewee sign a consent form. In the consent form, you need to mention this.
You, as the person who was interviewed, have control of what you said. Unless you have previously agreed not to, you can share your own thoughts, assuming you have recorded the interview yourself.
I do not think you should share the voice of your interviewer without permission.
Of course, if you want the interviewer to give you a copy of the recording, the interviewer would have the right to say no.
The first place to look for your resolution on this is the Informed Consent agreement that you signed to participate in the study. As a researcher, I would say that there may well be reasons for seeking confidentiality of interview protocols and responses to maintain integrity of the study. [If the study has already been completed and reported, this may be less of a concern.] I think, ethically, you should consult with the PI on the study on your intent, the purpose and the scope of disclosure you want to make. More than likely, you would have been given access to the interview recording [typically it would only be a transcript] to check for accuracy. Any concerns about accuracy should have been discussed with the PI. Again, an important consideration is your purpose and intent for release of information. Certainly any reference to the PI or any other study participant should be avoided as a breach of confidentiality and privacy. Can you be PROHIBITED from disclosure - probably not. But consider the implications of disclosure against any perceived benefit from doing so.
Basically, I agree with Larissa. The interview is your opinion and thinking, so you have the right to use it. However, it is fair to dialogue with researchers because they delineated the interview.
Paul and Michael I believe have sound insights. The consent agreement is a legal binding document. Hard to enforce at times.
There is also the question of does the interviewer work for an agency or government or organization that claims anything produced on its equipment or software is protected under its ownership. Releasing it publically may result in disciplinary action to the interviewer and thus you would most likely be told: "No you cannot have a copy of the interviewer's research". And, most likely the interviewer will not let you record the interview.
In many OIG investigations/or fact findings this is the norm as there should not be different versions of such documentation floating around. The only exception I can think of would be if the interview was conducted in public or a public forum.
There usually would be nothing to prevent you from taking notes during the interview - you could publish on what was triggered in the interview, but that should be original in thought.
The response to your answer will be determined by the agreement reached before the commencement of the interview. If you did not discuss that, you can share your opinion with others. However, you have to do this without the voice of the interviewer. You will need his/her consent before the voice can be heard.
I agree with many colleagues' view that you need to consult and get permission from the researcher who interviewed you in the first place. If the research itself isn't sensitive and funded by a particular kind of industry / department, it's more likely that you will get the permission. Something similar happened in one of my research projects few years ago. One of interview participants asked me for permission to use the part of the interview transcript for the inclusion in his blog entries. I considered the request and agreed.
