R1 Digital Scholarship Program Survey Dataset, 2020

This data represents responses to a survey instrument with twelve qualitative and five quantitative questions used to investigate the infrastructure, activities, and perceived successes and challenges of digital scholarship programs at Carnegie Classification R1: Doctoral Universities in 2020. Our study reveals that digital scholarship programs at large research universities tend to be support-oriented organizations most commonly rooted in libraries but partnered with or funded by other units within major research universities. These programs exist at over three-fourths of R1 institutions and their staff serve a critical function at the intersection of technology and the three core facets of scholarship--research, teaching, and engagement.
