Abstract
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to better understand the data practices, influences and needs of researchers at a major public research institution.
Design/methodology/approach
– This paper is based on the results of a pre-tested, web-based survey of University of Kansas faculty, staff, researchers and graduate students.
Findings
– Influences on data practices and data needs vary with the research methodology and academic discipline of the researcher.
Practical implications
– Academic libraries may need to adjust the services they offer to meet the varying needs of researchers in differing disciplines using differing methodologies.
Originality/value
– This study adds to the developing literature describing research data management.
