Abstract

Research Data Management (RDM) is an important ability required in the global knowledge environment and essential in the university research context. In this work we will present the results of the application of a web survey of faculties and doctoral students from three Spanish universities, with the aim of knowing their current levels of awareness and gaps in different issues of RDM. This study is part of an international survey on “Base Data Literacy” led by Professor Joumana Boustany from Paris Descartes University. The questionnaire was sent to the research academic staff and student research fellows of the three universities. We received a total of 828 responses, 591 of which were completely filled out. In accordance to the results of this survey we have detected a growing need among research academic staff and research students for RDM skills.
