Study title

The purpose of the online survey on data curation was to arrive at a better understanding of the process of creating, organizing, and maintaining data(sets) by organizations in the field of grey literature. The survey population was based on the number of respondents to the earlier questionnaire on Data Retention Status, which was the first phase in the study on global information repository research for STI development. The ten-question online survey was constructed and implemented via SurveyMonkey. Nine of the questions required closed-ended checkbox responses, while the tenth was open-ended. The closed-ended part of the questionnaire dealt with such issues as the strengths and tasks of the organization related to data curation, improving the user experience, collaboration on data sharing, and the introduction of AI technology in the work environment. The results of the survey remain compiled and preserved in SurveyMonkey as well as in DANS, Data Station for the Social Sciences and Humanities.
