RDA Data Stewardship Organisational Models Survey 2021 Output Dataset

Data Stewardship comes in many forms and contexts, with the common goal of supporting data management. Yet that diversity can make it hard for the RDM community to further professionalise our work and services.

The RDA Professionalising Data Stewardship Interest Group (PDS-IG) Models Task Group sought input from the research data community to help model different approaches to research data stewardship through an online survey in October to November 2021. An offline copy of the survey is available as a linked resource from this record.

This dataset consists of a cleaned, anonymised responses from 136 respondents, though not all questions were answered by all respondents. The output are available in a CSV formatted file containing the full response set along with output from a thematic textual analysis undertaken on responses to a number of open-text questions in the survey.
