Understanding Research Data Repositories as Infrastructures

Data and code for paper: "Understanding Research Data Repositories as Infrastructures" (2021). This study discusses the properties of research data repositories and analyzes metadata about 2,646 entries in the Registry of Research Data Repositories (r3data.org) to identify which of the characteristics attributed to infrastructures they exhibit. The results reveal how research data repositories function as information infrastructure for members of the scientific community and contribute to the small body of literature that examines data repositories through a socio-technical lens.

本数据集与代码配套于2021年发表的论文《将研究数据仓储（Research Data Repositories）作为基础设施》。本研究探讨了研究数据仓储的属性，并针对研究数据仓储注册库（r3data.org）中的2646条条目开展元数据分析，以识别这些仓储所具备的基础设施特征。研究结果阐明了研究数据仓储如何作为信息基础设施服务于科学共同体成员，并为以社会技术视角审视数据仓储的少量相关学术文献贡献了新的研究成果。
