Abstract

This study aims to analyze the needs of researchers in a regional comprehensive university for research data management services; discuss the options for developing a research data management program at the university; and then propose a phased three-year implementation plan for the university libraries. The method was to design a survey to collect information from researchers and assess and evaluate their needs for research data management services. The results show that researchers’ needs in a regional comprehensive university could be quite different from those of researchers in a research-intensive university. Also, the results verify the hypothesis that researchers in the regional comprehensive university would welcome the libraries offering managed data services for the research community. Therefore, this study suggests a phased three-year implementation plan. The significance of the study is that it can give some insights and helpful information for regional comprehensive universities that are planning to develop a research data management program.

区域综合性大学的研究数据管理服务开发:以中央华盛顿大学为例

本研究旨在分析区域综合性大学研究人员对研究数据管理服务的需求；讨论在大学开发研究数据管理项目的选择；并提出了高校图书馆分阶段实施的三年计划。该方法是设计一项调查，从研究人员那里收集信息，并评估和评估他们对研究数据管理服务的需求。研究结果表明，区域综合性大学的研究人员需求可能与研究型大学的研究者需求截然不同。此外，研究结果验证了一个假设，即区域综合大学的研究人员会欢迎图书馆为研究界提供管理数据服务。因此，本研究提出了一个分阶段的三年实施计划。该研究的意义在于，它可以为计划制定研究数据管理计划的区域综合大学提供一些见解和有用的信息。
