Research Data Alliance Interest Group Professionalising Data Stewardship Career Tracks Survey Dataset

This is the final dataset resulting from the data steward Career Tracks survey that the Reseach Data Alliance (RDA) Interest Group Professionalising Data Stewardship carried out in 2022. Data stewards were defined as professionals who aim at guaranteeing that data is appropriately treated in all stages of the research cycle (i.e., design, collection, processing, analysis, preservation, data sharing and reuse); we invited responses from participants who either now or in the past carried out data stewardship functions, regardless of their job title. The survey asked respondents about their job titles, the organizational context in which they work(ed) including contract types and domains, their educational background, and how they perceive their professional future.
