“…While Simons and Richardson (2013) are of the view that datasets that have been carefully compiled and created can be reused, repurposed or reanalyzed to support research results, data sets that are simple to access make it easier to make discoveries and cut down on duplicative work. Schöpfel (2022) investigated the landscape of RDR in France. They revealed that the majority of repositories are dedicated to science and technology.…”

Purpose Data sharing is increasingly being recognized as an essential component of scholarly research and publishing. Sharing data improves results and propels research and discovery forward. Given the importance of data sharing, the purpose of the study is to unveil the present scenario of research data repositories (RDR) and sheds light on strategies and tactics followed by different countries for efficient organization and optimal use of scientific literature. Design/methodology/approach The data for the study is collected from registry of RDR (re3data registry) (re3data.org), which covers RDR from different academic disciplines and provides filtration options “Search” and “Browse” to access the repositories. Using these filtration options, the researchers collected metadata of repositories i.e. country wise contribution, content-type data, repository language interface, software usage, metadata standards and data access type. Furthermore, the data was exported to Google Sheets for analysis and visualization. Findings The re3data registry holds a rich and diverse collection of data repositories from the majority of countries all over the world. It is revealed that English is the dominant language, and the most widely used software for the creation of data repositories are “DataVerse”, followed by “Dspace” and “MySQL”. The most frequently used metadata standards are “Dublin Core” and “Datacite metadata schema”. The majority of repositories are open, with more than half of the repositories being “disciplinary” in nature, and the most significant data sources include “scientific and statistical data” followed by “standard office documents”. Research limitations/implications The main limitation of the study is that the findings are based on the data collected through a single registry of repositories, and only a few characteristic features were investigated. Originality/value The study will benefit all countries with a small number of data repositories or no repositories at all, with tools and techniques used by the top repositories to ensure long-term storage and accessibility to research data. In addition to this, the study provides a global overview of RDR and its characteristic features.

Research data repositories as part of research infrastructures are being developed and are important tools and components that help to store, preserve, and allow for the re-use of data. As the technologies, networks, and systems that the data repositories are built upon are advancing, this study explores the future models and architectures that African universities can follow to have reliable and sustainable systems for the preservation of research data. A scoping review was done to focus on the future shape of data repositories based on past experiences of the last 10 years of research institutions in establishing data repositories. This study was done to gauge the communities’ responses to the architecture of existing platforms to prepare other institutions planning to establish digital research data repositories. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, Web of Science, and Dimensions databases using relevant keywords. The content analysis approach was used to establish the requirements for establishing digital research data repositories to develop a framework that can be utilised by other research institutions to develop their repositories. The framework would be handy in providing a roadmap for research institutions that want to establish research data services in Africa enhancing the future of research infrastructure in African universities.
