“…While the definitions are similar, they also vary in terms of what is being shared, how it is being shared and with whom. Four of the studies (Saeed and Ali, 2019, p. 290; Tenopir et al , 2015, p. 3; Wu and Worrall, 2019, p. 765; Zhu, 2019, p. 2) used broad definitions. Wu and Worrall (2019) quoted Borgman's definition directly as “the release of research data for use by others” (p. 765).…”

“…Wu and Worrall (2019) quoted Borgman's definition directly as “the release of research data for use by others” (p. 765). Zhu (2019) used an almost identical definition: “releasing research data that can be used by others” (p. 2), while Saeed and Ali (2019) defined data sharing as “the practice of making data used for academic research available to other investigators” (p. 290). Tenopir et al (2015) states that data sharing “...occurs when scientists intentionally make their own data available to other people for their use in research or other related scientific endeavors” (p. 3).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to report a study of how research literature addresses researchers' attitudes toward data repository use. In particular, the authors are interested in how the term data sharing is defined, how data repository use is reported and whether there is need for greater clarity and specificity of terminology.Design/methodology/approachTo study how the literature addresses researcher data repository use, relevant studies were identified by searching Library Information Science and Technology Abstracts, Library and Information Science Source, Thomas Reuters' Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus. A total of 62 studies were identified for inclusion in this meta-evaluation.FindingsThe study shows a need for greater clarity and consistency in the use of the term data sharing in future studies to better understand the phenomenon and allow for cross-study comparisons. Furthermore, most studies did not address data repository use specifically. In most analyzed studies, it was not possible to segregate results relating to sharing via public data repositories from other types of sharing. When sharing in public repositories was mentioned, the prevalence of repository use varied significantly.Originality/valueResearchers' data sharing is of great interest to library and information science research and practice to inform academic libraries that are implementing data services to support these researchers. This study explores how the literature approaches this issue, especially the use of data repositories, the use of which is strongly encouraged. This paper identifies the potential for additional study focused on this area.

“…Quantitative and qualitative studies emphasized that researchers interpret legal issues as a main barrier to share and handle their data (e.g. Bunkar and Bhatt, 2020; Saeed and Ali, 2019; Singh et al, 2018; Tripathi and Pandy, 2018). The establishment of legal consulting could decrease these barriers.…”

New technological developments, the availability of big data, and the creation of research platforms open a variety of opportunities to generate, store, and analyze research data. To ensure the sustainable handling of research data, the European Commission as well as scientific commissions have recently highlighted the importance of implementing a research data management system (RDMS) in higher education institutes (HEI) which combines technical as well as organizational solutions. A deep understanding of the requirements of research data management (RDM), as well as an overview of the different stakeholders, is a key prerequisite for the implementation of an RDMS. Based on a scientific literature review, the aim of this study is to answer the following research questions: “What organizational factors need to be considered when implementing an RDMS? How do these organizational factors interact with each other and how do they constrain or facilitate the implementation of an RDMS?” The structure of the analysis is built on the four components of Leavitt’s classical model of organizational change: task, structure, technology, and people. The findings reveal that the implementation of RDMS is strongly impacted by the organizational structure, infrastructure, labor culture as well as strategic considerations. Overall, this literature review summarizes different approaches for the implementation of an RDMS. It also identifies areas for future research.

“…Research data management includes organisation, preservation, storage and curation of collected data to perform research and for future use and sharing 8 . It saves time, effort, resources and energy in the long run and helps to avoid any mistake, misuse, or manipulation of data 9 .…”

Digitisation of research data is widely increasing all around the world because it needs more and development of enormous digital technologies. Data curation services are starting to offer many libraries. Research data curation is the collective invaluable and reusable information of the researchers. Collected data preservation is more important. The majority of the higher education institutes preserved the research data for their students and researchers. It is stored for a long time using various formats. It is called research data preservation. Without proper research data management plan and implementation cannot curate the research data. The aim of the study is to identify the Asian Library and Information Science (LIS) faculties’ experiences in the research data preservation and curation during their research. Data management, curation and preservation all are interlinked. For reuse of the research data; data curation is an essential role. For this research, we adopted a survey method and an online questionnaire was shared with 1400 LIS professionals, belonging to the Asian region but the completed study respondents are 125 university faculties from various Asian countries. The study findings are 76.8 per cent generated statistical data followed by 58.4 per cent textual files. By far, the most preferable data analysis tool is Microsoft Excel 82.4 per cent. Moreover, the result shows that generated data is mostly stored by personal computers and laptop hard disks. This study concludes LIS faculties having adequate skills and knowledge on data curation and preservation even though they are expecting more services from their academic institute libraries.
