Survey data from WDS subcommittee on certifications and accreditations used by scientific data repositories

The World Data System (WDS) is committed to fostering and supporting a global network of members focused on scientific data repositories and data stewardship. As repositories navigate evolving technologies, growing data volumes and types, changing user expectations, and closer integration with scientific workflows—including linking data to scholarly publications, other data sources, and software to process the data—WDS works to address the challenges they face. A central role of WDS is to collaborate on developing best practices, including fostering policies, standards, and certifications that ensure the reliability and trustworthiness of scientific data repositories. WDS membership currently requires maintaining CoreTrustSeal (CTS) certification. However, many members (and prospective members) have pointed out that the certification process is complex and time-consuming.
In response to these concerns, the Scientific Committee of WDS formed a subcommittee to examine how extended certifi..., The survey call was posted on WDS's social media and newsletter and disseminated further through partnerships with organizations such as the Research Data Alliance (RDA), the International Science Council (ISC), and the ISC’s Committee on Data (CODATA). The survey was open for nine weeks, and data were collected using Qualtrics software. This survey was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). The IRB approval number is UTK IRB-24-08222-XM, and the approval date is 06/28/2024, ensuring compliance with ethical standards and protection of human subjects.
The qualitative data, obtained through Qualtrics software, was exported in a comma-separated values (CSV) format, along with metadata provided by Qualtrics, allowing for subsequent analysis using specific statistical methods tailored to understand patterns within responses received.

## Description of the data and file structure

In November of 2023, the Executive Committee of the World Data System (WDS) endorsed the creation of a dedicated subcommittee focused on standards and certifications. This initiative was aligned with WDS's commitment to enhancing the quality and governance of WDS member repositories. The subcommittee's task was to conduct a thorough evaluation of existing and emergent national and international standards, as well as certifications for data management practices. Surveying the WDS membership and the broader data field experts was considered an important step in gathering detailed information about the range of standards and certifications implemented or required by governing entities and funding organizations globally. This dataset is the result of that online survey. 
..., The distribution of this survey and procedures for data collection and analysis were reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville (UTK). The IRB approval number is UTK IRB-24-08222-XM, and the approval date is 06/28/2024, ensuring compliance with ethical standards and protection of human subjects. Consent was secured from all survey respondents, including the following statement: \"As advocates for Open Science, we may share your research data with other researchers without asking for your consent again, but it will not contain information that could directly identify you. A long-term data sharing and preservation plan will be used to store and make the data publicly accessible beyond the life of the project. The data will be deposited into Dryad, an open data publishing platform committed to the open availability and routine re-use of all research data.\"
