社会科学家正在产生不断增加的数据量,在处理数据以供重用的资源有限的情况下,导致了有关内容评估和选择的问题。我们在已建立的社会科学数据存储库中分析用户的搜索活动,以更好地了解数据需求并更有效地指导馆藏开发。通过应用数据驱动的方法,我们的目标是确保应用管理资源,使最有价值的数据可找到、可理解、可访问和可用。我们分析社会科学领域存储库中的数据,其中包括 2014 年和 2015 年超过 500,000 次的年度搜索,以更好地了解用户搜索行为的趋势。使用新创建的搜索与研究比率技术,我们确定了域数据存储库持有的差距,并利用此分析来为我们的收集和管理实践和政策提供信息。我们在本文中提出的评估技术将作为未来研究的基线,研究正在研究的领域数据存储库中用户需求随时间变化的趋势,这对其他数据存储库具有更广泛的影响。
Social scientists are producing an ever-expanding volume of data, leading to questions about appraisal and selection of content given finite resources to process data for reuse. We analyze users’ search activity in an established social science data repository to better understand demand for data and more effectively guide collection development. By applying a data-driven approach, we aim to ensure curation resources are applied to make the most valuable data findable, understandable, accessible, and usable. We analyze data from a domain repository for the social sciences that includes over 500,000 annual searches in 2014 and 2015 to better understand trends in user search behavior. Using a newly created search-to-study ratio technique, we identified gaps in the domain data repository’s holdings and leveraged this analysis to inform our collection and curation practices and policies. The evaluative technique we propose in this paper will serve as a baseline for future studies looking at trends in user demand over time at the domain data repository being studied with broader implications for other data repositories.
