- Abstract
- Grant funders are increasingly requiring documented data management plans that stipulate access to and preservation of research data. Few studies have researched the data management behavior of health sciences researchers since these requirements were implemented in the early 2010s. This paper explores data management behavior by researchers in health sciences setting. Through 11 interviews, researchers were asked about the processes and tools they use to share research data with teammates and withexternal researchers. They were also asked about any current practices that facilitate or result in long-term preservation of their data. The outcome of this study is that, while researchers are well versed in short-term management of their data throughout the lifetime of a research project, there is room to improve long-term preservation efforts. These findings may help inform information professionals about their outreach and approaches to facilitate data access and preservation that aligns with the requirements of research sponsors.
