A Comparative Study of Research Data ManagementPolicies in Universities from a Cross-Regional Perspectiveand Their Implications

Abstract

Abstract:

With the growing importance of data-intensive research, the volume of research data isincreasing explosively, universities and research institutions in various regions have successivelyimplemented or improved their research data management strategies. However, research data managementin most universities in China is still in the development stage and has not yet formed an effectivemanagement system. Therefore, the comparative analysis of research data management policies ofrepresentative universities under different regions is conducive to the improvement and innovation ofdomestic research data management policies and the optimization of relevant management system.Literature research method and network analysis method were adopted to collect and collate the researchdata management policies of top 100 universities in the QS World University Ranking in 2023. Froma cross regional perspective, we built a category system for research data management policies based onthe data lifecycle model, including 4 first-level categories and 14 second-level categories for comparativestudy, in order to provide references for the practice of research data management in domestic universities.It is found that the level of sophistication of research data management policy is not the same among different regional universities. North American universities excel in research data organization. Europeanuniversities focus on data storage and publishing. Oceanian universities attach importance to the norms ofresearch data creation. Among Asian universities, those in Singapore and Hong Kong area, China havemore comprehensive research data management policies than others. Combining with the excellentpractice of university policies in different regions, it is recommended that Chinese universities promoteone-stop service for research data management, manage research data support needs in differentdepartments, and develop multi-functional research data management software.
