Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to identify the readiness of institutional repositories in Indonesia to implement digital humanities (DH) data curation. Data curation is a method of managing research data that maintains the data’s accuracy and makes it available for reuse. It requires controlled data management.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through a focus group discussion in September–October 2022, interviews and document analysis. The informants came from four institutions in Indonesia.

Findings

The findings reveal that the national research repository has implemented data curation, albeit not optimally. Within the case study, one of the university repositories diligently curates its humanities data and has established networks extending to various ASEAN countries. Both the national archive repository and the other university repository have implemented rudimentary data curation practices but have not prioritized them. In conclusion, the readiness of the national research repository and the university repository stand at the high-capacity stage, while the national archive repository and the other university repository are at the established and early stages of data curation, respectively.

Research limitations/implications

This study examined only four repositories due to time constraints. Nonetheless, the four institutions were able to provide a comprehensive picture of their readiness for DH data curation management.

Practical implications

This study provides insight into strategies for developing DH data curation activities in institutional repositories. It also highlights the need for professional development for curators so they can devise and implement stronger ownership policies and data privacy to support a data-driven research agenda.

Originality/value

This study describes the preparations that must be considered by institutional repositories in the development of DH data curation activities.

准备实施印度尼西亚四个机构知识库的数字人文数据管理

目的本研究旨在确定印度尼西亚机构知识库实施数字人文(DH)数据管理的准备情况。数据管理是一种管理研究数据的方法，它可以保持数据的准确性并使其可重用。它需要受控的数据管理。设计/方法/方法这项研究采用定性方法。通过2022年9 - 10月的焦点小组讨论、访谈和文献分析进行数据收集。举报人来自印度尼西亚的四个机构。研究结果表明，国家研究储存库已经实施了数据管理，尽管不是最佳的。在案例研究中，其中一个大学资料库勤奋地管理其人文数据，并建立了延伸到东盟各国的网络。国家档案馆和其他大学档案馆都实施了基本的数据管理实践，但没有对它们进行优先排序。综上所述，国家研究资源库和大学资源库的准备情况处于高容量阶段，而国家档案资源库和其他大学资源库分别处于数据管理的建立和早期阶段。研究局限性/意义由于时间限制，本研究仅检查了四个存储库。尽管如此，这四所机构还是能够提供一幅全面的图景，说明它们已经为卫生保健数据管理做好了准备。实际意义本研究提供了在机构存储库中开发DH数据管理活动的策略。它还强调了策展人需要专业发展，以便他们能够设计和实施更强有力的所有权政策和数据隐私，以支持数据驱动的研究议程。原创性/价值本研究描述了机构资料库在发展卫生保健数据管理活动时必须考虑的准备工作。
