Research data management training survey, 2016

Abstract

The aim of this survey was to collect feedback about existing training programmes in research data management for researchers at the University of Edinburgh, as well as respondents’ preferred methods for training, and their requirements for new courses. The survey was circulated via e-mail to research staff and postgraduate students across three colleges of the University of Edinburgh: the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; the College of Science and Engineering; and the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. The survey was conducted on-line using the Bristol Online Survey tool, March through July 2016. 191 responses were received.
