“…For example, Horton and DCC (2016), in their "overview of UK institution RDM policies," highlight more than 20 universities with RDM policies, including the University of Southampton, University of Edinburgh, University of Warwick, University of Essex, University of Sheffield, Oxford Brookes University, University of Durham and Aston University, among others. Huang, Cox and Sbaffi (2021) concur that 80 universities in the United Kingdom already had an institutional RDM policy by 2016. Among other Western nations, Australia, Canada, and the United States have made significant progress in RDM.…”

A strategy in this paper was viewed as a plan of action for achieving the mission and vision of an organisation. This paper presents preliminary findings of the larger study which aimed to determine the strategies for research data management (RDM) at selected universities in KwaZulu-Natal. The current study used the community capability maturity model framework (CCMF) and the digital curation centre (DCC) lifecycle model as theoretical support to determine the strategies for RDM service provision with specific reference to the University of Zululand. The interpretive paradigm, following the qualitative research approach through a single case study, was used. Primary data was gathered through online interviews using Zoom and Teams with Librarians, Technicians, HODs, and DVC Research due to the Covid-19 pandemic and availability of technologies. The findings of the study revealed the University of Zululand does not have an RDM policy; however, research activities are practiced. The University lacks the infrastructure and investment to support RDM services and activities. The study is significant for providing the background for developing RDM in the public university through RDM strategy and policy. The findings also sought to inform the university’s RDM agenda.

“…), and less attention is given to low‐level stakeholders (researchers, journals, publishers, etc . ; Huang et al ., 2021). On the other hand, the current policies focus more on building an open data environment and promoting the supply of open data but lack policies concerning the demand for open research data (Huang et al ., 2020).…”

Research data policies of journals in the Chinese Science Citation Database based on the language, publisher, discipline, access model and metrics

This article investigates the research data policies of China's scholarly journals to provide a regional perspective. In total, 1243 science, technology, and medicine (STM) journals in the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) were examined in June and July of 2021. The findings show that the existence and attitudinal strength of the research data policies of China's scholarly journals are weak overall, but differences exist across journals with different languages, publishers, disciplines, access models and metrics. A large imbalance exists between English‐language journals and Chinese‐language journals in setting their research data policies. The existence and attitudinal strength of the research data policies of journals co‐published by Western publishers and Chinese publishers are much stronger than those of journals published solely by Chinese publishers. In terms of discipline, journals belonging to the life sciences have stronger attitudes towards research data sharing. Open access model journals and hybrid model journals are better than subscription model journals in opening and sharing research data. The higher the impact factor (IF) and CiteScore of a journal, the more likely the journal is to have data policies.

“…Libraries play an important role in institutions. With the intensive use of technology in different fields and data research production, libraries have started offering services related to research (Yoon & Schultz, 2017;Cox et al, 2019;Huang et al, 2021). Thus, libraries and information professionals can influence their stakeholders and institutions much more than in the past.…”

In this paper, we discuss FAIR Data, why it exists, and who it applies to. We further review the principles of FAIR data and how they are managed in research centers. We also discuss the types of problems that researchers encounter, and what an information professional can do to assist them. At present, the vast majority of centers subscribe to the FAIR principles. However, both center and researcher face the arduous task of understanding, managing, and implementing the model. They must know data formats and standards. For a correct description and to facilitate data retrieval and interoperability, they must know about different types of metadata schemas. They must know about digital preservation and specific aspects of knowledge and information management. In addition, there are also ethical issues, intellectual property, and cultural differences. All these controversies translate into extra workload for researchers, who only get a return in the form of citations. It is critical to note that these information professionals can play a key role in the proper management of research data, and can help achieve the objectives described in the principles: making data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
