“…was produced by only one (0.8%) researcher. Previous studies (Kvale 2012;Buys and Shaw 2015;Elsayed & Saleh 2018;and Bezuidenhout & Chakauya 2018) also found similar to the current one. All these studies found that the majority of researchers produced standard office documents.…”

“…However, the researchers decided to use the data as the response rate was in line with several studies of a similar nature elsewhere. Buys and Shaw (2015), Wouters and Haak (2017), and Elsayed and Saleh (2018) also had lower response rates of 6.4%, 2.3% and 8% in studies similar to this one. Schöpfel and Prost (2016) point out that some of the similar studies' response rates are partially unknown as no one knows the whole population of the studies.…”

“…Another study by Buys and Shaw (2015) found that spreadsheets made 68% of the data followed by structured data (58%), text (74%), and images (52%). A recent study by Elsayed and Saleh (2018) also took into account the types of data produced by researchers. Elsayed and Saleh (2018) found that the kind of documents produced were text (85.5%), spreadsheets (65.5%), images (56.4%), and statistical data (48.7%).…”

“…Wouters and Haak (2017) also studied the willingness of researchers to share data and found that although 73% of them agree that they will benefit from other researchers sharing their data, only 64% of them were willing to share data and 65% have actually shared data. Another study by Elsayed and Saleh (2018) found that 64.4% of researchers shared their data with other researchers. Concerns with data sharing identified in this study were data privacy and confidentiality (57.1%), the fact that it takes time and effort (37.3%), intellectual property rights (31.3%), and technical issues (29%).…”

Research data management practices have gained momentum the world over. This is due to increased demands by governments and other funding agencies to have research data archived and shared as widely as possible. This paper sought to establish the data sharing practices of researchers in South Africa. The study further sought to establish the level of collaboration among researchers in sharing research data at the university level. The outcomes of the survey will help the researchers to develop appropriate data literacy awareness programmes meant to stimulate growth in data sharing practices for the benefit of research, not only in South Africa, but the world at large. A survey research method was used to gather data from willing public universities in South Africa. A similar study was conducted in other countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Turkey but the Researchers believe that circumstances in the developed world may differ with the South African research environment, hence the current study. The major finding of this study was that most researchers preferred to use data produced by others but less keen on sharing their own data. This study is the first of its kind in South Africa which investigates data sharing practices of researchers from multi-disciplinary fields at the university level and will contribute immensely to the growing body of literature in the area of research data management.

Despite increasing expectations that researchers and funding agencies release their data for reuse, concerns about data misuse hinder the open sharing of data. The COVID‐19 crisis brought urgency to these concerns, yet we are currently missing a theoretical framework to understand, prevent, and respond to research data misuse. In the article, we emphasize the challenge of defining misuse broadly and identify various forms that misuse can take, including methodological mistakes, unauthorized reuse, and intentional misrepresentation. We pay particular attention to underscoring the complexity of defining misuse, considering different epistemological perspectives and the evolving nature of scientific methodologies. We propose a theoretical framework grounded in the critical analysis of interdisciplinary literature on the topic of misusing research data, identifying similarities and differences in how data misuse is defined across a variety of fields, and propose a working definition of what it means “to misuse” research data. Finally, we speculate about possible curatorial interventions that data intermediaries can adopt to prevent or respond to instances of misuse.

Research data management is the basis for making data more Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. In this context, little attention is given to research data in image format. This article presents the preliminary results of a study on the habits related to the management of images in research. We collected 107 answers from researchers using a questionnaire. These researchers were PhD students, fellows and university professors from Life and Health Sciences, Exact Sciences and Engineering, Natural and Environmental Sciences and Social Sciences and Humanities. This study shows that 83.2% of researcher use images as research data, however, its use is generally not accompanied by a guidance document such as a research data management plan. These results provide valuable insights into the processes and habits regarding the production and use of images in the research context.
