Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal the current situation of research data management (RDM) services within the framework of data management responsibilities, policies, budget and resource competencies in libraries at research universities in Türkiye. The study also aims to present the potential of researchers from research universities to store and share their research data in data archives. Within the scope of the research, interviews were conducted with 15 participants who are responsible or have the potential to be responsible for the processes related to the RDM. In addition, the records of researchers, who are members of research universities, transferred to Zenodo and Aperta were examined within the scope of the study. According to the results, the amount of shared data sets in Zenodo and Aperta was quite small. However, almost all of the data transferred to these data archives is open access. Findings based on participant opinions showed that tools and techniques such as cloud storage, modern techniques, devices, and service providers, as well as resources such as budget, infrastructure and personnel for RDM are not sufficient at research universities in Türkiye. It is thought that this study will draw attention to the benefits of RDM services for universities by revealing what kind of roles the libraries affiliated with research universities play in the process of RDM.

研究型大学图书馆在研究数据管理中的作用：土耳其案例

本研究旨在揭示土耳其研究型大学图书馆在数据管理责任、政策、预算和资源能力框架内的研究数据管理（RDM）服务现状。本研究还旨在介绍研究型大学的研究人员在数据档案中存储和共享其研究数据的潜力。在研究范围内，对负责或有可能负责 RDM 相关流程的 15 位参与者进行了访谈。此外，在研究范围内还检查了研究人员（研究型大学成员）转入 Zenodo 和 Aperta 的记录。结果显示，Zenodo 和 Aperta 中的共享数据集数量很少。不过，几乎所有传输到这些数据档案馆的数据都是开放访问的。基于参与者意见的研究结果表明，图尔基耶的研究型大学还没有足够的工具和技术，如云存储、现代技术、设备和服务提供商，以及用于 RDM 的预算、基础设施和人员等资源。我们认为，本研究将通过揭示研究型大学附属图书馆在 RDM 过程中扮演的角色，提请人们关注 RDM 服务为大学带来的益处。
