Types of research data management services: An international perspective

ABSTRACT Research data management (RDM) services are increasingly offered by university libraries and data centers worldwide to support researchers in meeting funders' requirements for data management planning and to promote access to open research data. RDM remains an emergent service area and, as it continues to evolve, a dizzying array of program designs and strategies have been explored and refined to meet new technological challenges and user needs. This poster presents findings from an international study that investigated various organizational models for RDM services delivered at selected academic libraries and research centers in Australia, Europe and North America. While most RDM services examined in the study were provided by academic libraries, the research also revealed examples of embedded curation services and identified new organizational strategies, including distributed networks of RDM expertise and multi‐purpose research data centers.
