管理研究数据的重要性已经被政府、资助机构和学术团体所强调。增加对研究数据的获取可以提高科学活动和资助的影响和效率。因此，许多研究机构已经建立或计划建立研究数据管理服务，作为其机构存储库（IRs）的一部分。然而，为了在IRs中设计有效的研究数据管理服务，并围绕这些IRs建立活跃的研究数据提供者和用户社区，有必要研究当前的数据管理实践，并提供对这些实践的社会技术因素和关系的丰富描述。基于对来自美国13所大型研究型大学的15名IR工作人员的13次访谈，本文对IR中的研究数据管理和使用实践进行了丰富的定性描述。特别是，本文确定了IRs中的数据管理和使用活动，以及它们的结构、扮演的角色、所需的技能、存在的矛盾和问题、寻求的解决方案以及应用的变通方法。该论文可以为最佳实践指南、基础设施和服务模板的开发以及图书馆与信息科学（LIS）学校的研究数据管理教育提供信息。
The importance of managing research data has been emphasized by the government, funding agencies, and scholarly communities. Increased access to research data increases the impact and efficiency of scientific activities and funding. Thus, many research institutions have established or plan to establish research data curation services as part of their Institutional Repositories (IRs). However, in order to design effective research data curation services in IRs, and to build active research data providers and user communities around those IRs, it is essential to study current data curation practices and provide rich descriptions of the sociotechnical factors and relationships shaping those practices. Based on 13 interviews with 15 IR staff members from 13 large research universities in the United States, this paper provides a rich, qualitative description of research data curation and use practices in IRs. In particular, the paper identifies data curation and use activities in IRs, as well as their structures, roles played, skills needed, contradictions and problems present, solutions sought, and workarounds applied. The paper can inform the development of best practice guides, infrastructure and service templates, as well as education in research data curation in Library and Information Science (LIS) schools.
