Quantitative assessment of research data management practice - 2021

This survey aims to investigate research data management practices at EPFL and integrate their results into specific academic services. The previous two editions, in collaboration with TU Delft, Cambridge University and Illinois University, were carried out in 2017 and 2019.

The objective of these surveys is to collect information on researchers' habits in terms of management of their research data, as well as to identify their needs for data curation services/support. For this edition of the survey, a particular focus has been given to the ways in which they disseminate data and code.

You can find here a file corresponding to the report, in PDF, highlighting the findings of the survey, plus the file of the underlying data, in CSV, and a file with the graphical representation of such data, in PDF.

For more information about this survey, a description on how the survey might be re-used by other institutions, and RDM services offered by the EPFL Library, please contact [e-mail].
