Benefits of the Research

Storage of Data

The data gathered were stored in the research team’s recorder and cellphones. The researchers saved them in their personal laptops for transcription purposes only. Afterwards, each researcher deleted the record file in the said devices.

All the recordings and processed data (e.g. transcripts, coding and data auditing sheets) were saved in the team’s flash drive or hard disk by the focal person and stored in a secured locker in IDEALS’ office with proper labels, protecting the true identity of each of the participants. All the recordings must be deleted after five years based on the standard operating procedure of research ethics. The recordings and all processed data conducted for the data analysis would only be accessed within that span when inquiries regarding the study require the revisitation of these data to be satisfied.

BENEFITS OF THE RESEARCH

The research will benefit the organizations who are eager to create a more holistic approach in helping EJK surviving families, as well as human rights groups who wish to capacitate potential HR survivor advocates. It will also benefit organizations who plan to lobby for policies in light of the HRVs.
