ADBU survey: what implications for higher education libraries in supporting research data?
Gaining a better understanding of libraries'role and how they interact with data management clusters in France
Following on from its 2023 survey on the organization of research support services, the ADBU Research and Documentation committee conducted a new survey in 2025, focusing more specifically on research data. This survey, which received 79 complete replies via LimeSurvey, aimed to better understand the involvement of higher education documentary structures in supporting the management and openness of research data. It covered a range of topics: services offered by libraries in relation to research data, whether or not libraries are involved in data management clusters and possibly leading them, the distribution of FTEs dedicated to this kind of support, etc.
