摘要

当代网络技术和学术交流的进步为学术图书馆提供了寻找与研究人员群体互动的新方法的机会，这就要求图书馆员在数据科学和研究数据管理（RDM）方面进行服务创新。本研究旨在调查尼日利亚大学图书馆员的研究数据管理服务。本研究采用问卷调查的方式收集尼日利亚大学图书馆员在研究数据管理服务方面的数据。参与者为尼日利亚西南部公立大学的图书馆员。研究发现，尼日利亚大学图书馆员在研究型数据管理服务中的作用是鼓励研究便利化和促进科学交流。在尼日利亚，图书馆员参与研究型数据管理的程度很低。研究还发现，尽管尼日利亚大学的图书馆员从 RDM 服务中获益良多，但他们也遇到了一些挑战，如缺乏数据管理计划以及研究资助机构对 RDM 的资助有限。因此，建议尼日利亚的大学在图书馆内建立 RDM 中心，以防止数据丢失，并方便研究人员获取研究数据。

Research data management services among librarians in Nigerian universities

The contemporary advancements in network technologies and scholarly communication which provide opportunities to academic libraries to look for novel means of engaging with researcher communities has necessitated librarians to retort with service innovations in data science and research data management (RDM). The aim of this study is to investigate Research data management services among librarians in Nigerian universities. A questionnaire was used to collect data on RDM services among librarians in Nigerian universities for this study. The participants were the librarians in the public universities in South-west, Nigeria. The study found that the roles of librarians in RDM services in Nigerian universities are to encourage research facilitation and promote scientific communication. The extent of involvement of librarians in RDM in Nigeria is low. The study also found that although librarians in Nigerian universities derive many benefits from RDM services, they encounter challenges such as a lack of data management plan and limited grants from research funding agencies in contributing to RDM. It was therefore recommended that universities in Nigeria should create RDM centers in the libraries to prevent data loss and for easy accessibility of research data by researchers
