Abstract
The secondary use of research data in scientific research is more and more common today in France. In parallel, the value of research data curation is increasingly recognised. New data services are emerging rapidly as the legislative context is changing, strongly inciting both researchers and institutions to share data. Different professionals are dealing with research data curation: data managers, archivists, librarians.... Some have a “traditional” role, others are newer to this field. To understand the current state of research data curation in France, we conducted in November 2019 a quantitative survey and questioned these professionals on their perception on data curation. This paper will present the outcome of this research.
