"Perhaps the most overlooked open research practice is interpersonal openness. This is an attitude of transparency about the aims and process of the research project, and about the researchers’ motivations and backgrounds – their positionality – when communicating with research participants."

This point really resonated as it came up yesterday in different guises in the sessions on sensitive data and open qual research. There's something about creating frameworks which are flexible enough to allow these differences but are still supportive/offer sufficient guidance
Frances Pinter: Ukraine may be an extreme case - really need to recognize "as open as possible, as closed as necessary" means diff things to diff ppl - must be locally specific and internationally understood.
