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.
