posted on 2020-10-05, 11:29 authored by WINNER CHAWINGAWINNER CHAWINGA
The data is based on a PhD study that investigated how research data has been generated, organised, shared, stored, preserved, accessed and re-used in Malawian public universities with a view to proposing a framework for research data management in universities in Malawi. The objectives of the study were: to determine research data creation, sharing and re-use practices in public universities in Malawi; to investigate research data preservation practices in public universities in Malawi; to investigate the competencies that librarians and researchers need to effectively manage research data; and to find out the challenges that affect the management of research data in public universities in Malawi

The data is in three sets: qualitative data gathered through interviews with directors of research from the universities; quantitative data gathered from librarians and researchers.
