“…There has been no study on how much they know about RDM (which needs to be investigated in a future study); however, information professionals in other countries need training to support the research community better (Tenopir et al, 2015a, 2017; Wittenberg et al, 2018), and this probably would be the case for Turkey as well. Second, the researchers themselves need training to take better care of their research data, as the participants of this study expressed, and there are plenty of RDM training experiences that can be drawn on for inspiration (Bishop et al, 2020; Leaders Activating Research Network, 2017; Sesartic and Dieudé, 2017).…”

Research data management is an important topic for funding agencies, universities and researchers. In this context, the main aim of this study is to collect preliminary information for Aperta, which is being developed by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, to fulfil the following goals: determine the research data management awareness levels of researchers in Turkey; understand current research data management practices in their research environments; and find out their experiences of policy issues. For this, a questionnaire was distributed to 37,223 researchers, with 1577 researchers completing it. The results indicated that researchers who spend more time with data have more concerns about data management issues. The levels of experience of creating a data management plan were quite low. The importance of this study lies in how it is able to show the current research data management practices of Turkish scholars during the new repository’s foundational development stage.

“…The study uses past methodology using the data curation profile (DCP) approach to capture all actions across the data lifecycle (Bishop, et al, 2020; Bishop & Hank, 2016). Purposive recruitment occurred through personal contacts from related projects and organizations that focus on understanding and improving discovery, access, use, and curation of physical research objects.…”

“…Although it depends on the discipline, this may include a minimum description of the object, additional metadata, provenance documentation, photographs, field notes, ancillary data of many types (e.g., DNA), and even CT and 3D scans in rare instances. organization, access, and use to these collections, a data lifecycle questionnaire from prior studies was used in these focus groups has several questions derived from the FAIR data principles in a physical collections context (Bishop, et al, 2020). Physical collections present their own unique challenges to making their data FAIR.…”

Large investments of public funds to curate huge volumes of various physical samples acquired and stored over decades, and in some cases centuries, provide ample reasons to make these items as openly accessible, as easily discoverable, and as well‐documented as possible to ensure this investment results in reuse. The purpose of this study is to understand the curation behaviors of managers of physical collections. Six focus groups were conducted with twenty participants from several physical sample communities. Participants responded to open‐ended questions that relate to the entire data lifecycle for their research objects. Results indicated that physical collections would benefit from use of universal metadata and data storage standards to increase sharing across domains. Both of these factors contribute to access and use obstacles all these collections face in different ways. In the context of managers requiring more investments to encourage reuse of these invaluable items, this study hopes to provide preliminary domain‐agnostic data to inform design of collections cyberinfrastructure, resources, and services using actual curation behaviors.

“…The data scientists, led by Shelley Stall of the American Geophysical Union, are working in parallel with the research team. They are guided by the Belmont Forum's Data and Digital Object Management Plan (DDOMP: https://bit.ly/3yPsQIl) and Bishop et al, (2020). The Belmont Forum requires its funded projects to ensure they are open and reproducible, and the data strand aims to be an exemplar.…”
