Research data services at White Rose Research Online - Questionnaire data

This study, inspired by Tony Hey’s “The Data Deluge”, was carried out to discover whether the Institutional Repository is a suitable body to manage curation of and access to the source data created at the institution. This study surveyed research scientists at the White Rose Universities to discover their practices of and attitudes to research data storage, sharing and publication. Key role players in the research data management process were interviewed to investigate possible options for a data infrastructure, the capabilities of WRRO, the establishment of a discipline-based repository and issues of metadata assignment.
