8. “Trustworthiness and data
management are vital to the success of
qualitative studies … There is a lack of
scientific literature regarding the
structures and processes for managing
large qualitative data sets.”
(White, Oelken, Friesen, 2012)
9. “A simple answer to objective reporting
is the kind of reporting that uses relevant
and reliable sources which is not bias or
slanted to a certain party.”
Ibrahim, Pawanteh, Kee (2011)
22. “Dear scientist,
Try to avoid intellectual
arrogance. There are
other people who are just
as smart.”
23. journalistic data mining
The process of finding correlations or
patterns in large relational databases.
It is the process of analyzing data from
different perspectives and summarizing it
into useful and reliable information.

30. Gross Time Ranking versus Net Time Ranking
‘The net time is the measured time from starting line
to finish line and the gross time is the measured time
from the starting shot until the finish line.
In photo's of the starting line of marathons one can
see thousands of runners who are eager to start.
However, when one stands in the last starting pen,
one can not directly run at full speed.
A kind of human traffic jam arises when the
marathon starts. On the internet people complain
about this difference in time results, because the
ranking is based on gross times.’

34. missing values - solve
‘We discovered that the data of 100
runners lacked. Apparently one scraped
page was added double. We removed
the 100 duplicates.’
35. missing values - story
‘Still, nineteen runners were missing in
the Amsterdam data set.
Perchance these are runners that have
been disqualified.’
Or…
36. ‘To calculate the average position
changes, caused by net ranking, we
converted the difference scores to
absolute figures.
The average position change in the
Amsterdam Marathon was 281.6
places.’
37. scientific outcome
‘We calculated the Kendalls Tau rank
correlation coefficient for the net and
gross ranking of the Amsterdam
Marathon.
This coefficient shows that despite of the
average differences between the
rankings, the net and gross time rankings
are almost equal to each other.’
38. journalistic outcome
‘We spoke Patrick Schuerman from Tilburg
on the phone. Patrick had starting number
11797 in the Amsterdam Marathon of 2013
and had a gross time versus net time
difference of over 21 minutes.
In his opinion, the ranking of the marathon
should happen after net times since these
are the ‘real’ times people ran.’
