“…In identifying the main challenges faced by postgraduate students and faculty member, there were no specific policies and guidelines on RDM, inadequate human resources, inadequate financial resources, lack of infrastructure and technological obsolescence, use of different vocabulary between librarians and researchers and lack of institutional support and unavailability of software for research data. The key challenges associated with digital data management: technology obsolescence; technology fragility; lack of guidelines on good practice; inadequate financial and human resources to manage data well; and lack of evidence about best infrastructures 16 . More recently, RDM is depicted as a continuous, iterative, and embedded process throughout the course of a research project 29 .…”

Research emphasises the fundamental role of research data management (RDM) in enhancing academic and scientific research. This paper intended to examine RDM in Iraqi Universities, identify the current challenges of RDM and propose influential RDM practices. Data collection employed a self-administered questionnaires distributed to 155 postgraduate students and 20 faculty members from five universities in Iraq. Research findings revealed that there is a lack of proper RDM. Postgraduate students and researchers were managing their own research data. Main challenges of maintaining a good RDM involve lack of guidelines on effective RDM practices, insufficient of adequate human resources, technological obsolescence, insecure and inefficient infrastructure, lack of financial resources, absence of research data management policies and lack of support by institutional authorities and researchers negatively influenced on research data management. Postgraduate students and researchers recommend building research data repositories and collaboration with other universities and research organisations.
