学术图书馆员越来越多地通过提供基础设施（例如，机构储存库）和提供服务（例如，数据管理计划咨询），以支持其校园内的研究数据管理。努力开发这些资源可能会受益于更好地了解研究数据管理需求的学科差异。在我们的研究型大学进行了一项关于数据管理实践和观点的调查后，我们将教职员工分为四个研究领域艺术和人文科学、社会科学、医学科学和基础科学，并分析了他们的调查响应模式的变化。我们发现，几乎每一个调查项目的四个研究领域之间的统计显着差异，揭示了重要的学科区别的数据管理行动，态度和兴趣的支持服务。认真考虑学科之间的相似性和差异性将有助于指导学术图书馆员和其他数据管理专业人员开发一系列数据管理服务，以满足不同学术研究人员的独特需求。
Academic librarians are increasingly engaging in data curation by providing infrastructure (e.g., institutional repositories) and offering services (e.g., data management plan consultations) to support the management of research data on their campuses. Efforts to develop these resources may benefit from a greater understanding of disciplinary differences in research data management needs. After conducting a survey of data management practices and perspectives at our research university, we categorized faculty members into four research domains—arts and humanities, social sciences, medical sciences, and basic sciences—and analyzed variations in their patterns of survey responses. We found statistically significant differences among the four research domains for nearly every survey item, revealing important disciplinary distinctions in data management actions, attitudes, and interest in support services. Serious consideration of both the similarities and dissimilarities among disciplines will help guide academic librarians and other data curation professionals in developing a range of data-management services that can be tailored to the unique needs of different scholarly researchers.
