“…Bourke, 2022), and on studying with an analytical focus emerging practices of the workflows, including discovery (e.g. Ince et al 2022b;Papenmeier et al, 2021;Sun et al, 2022). In these studies, the user needs, whilst mentioned, are never or rarely a core focus and in conducting our review of the literature we had to extract and separate them from the analytical work of the authors.…”

“…Therefore, the implicit need is to bring together different resources and connect them to facilitate discovery. Sun et al (2022) emphasise the importance to bring together and analyse the practices and perspectives of both researchers and support specialists in order to build effective infrastructures and services for discovery, in particular for data. It highlights the importance of understanding the perspectives of both groups to inform the development of support work and improve researchers' data discovery practices.…”

GoTriple is a novel discovery platform for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in Europe. Discovery is a phase of research where scholars seek to locate resources for their work, such as publications or previous projects. The paper details the work done for involving the SSH community in the codesign of GoTriple, focusing on the research discovery activities. It is an investigation of the user needs and barriers toward digital discovery for the SSH community, conducted through codesign. This work encompassed interviews, a questionnaire, codesign workshops and evaluation activities. The paper reports on some outcomes for the codesign and how user needs were identified and served by novel designs supporting discovery for SSH. This process of design is both concerned with creating digital tools for discovery and with the creation of a community of users that could make the platform thrive. The main contribution of the work is therefore the identification of the user needs for digital discovery in SSH and a series of insights on the design with the user community. The paper comprises a report on how codesign principles do support such work.
