IASSIST Quarterly on research data repositories


IASSIST Quarterly IQ Vol. 31 issue 3&4 is now available. This IQ is a special issue dedicated to explore different research data repositories projects. The editor, Gretchen Cano, highlights the common themes such as the importance of aligning services with researchers' needs or the role of the data manager playing an increasingly important role within research groups. 


And it contains an article by me : Digital Repository Services for Managing Research Data: What Do Oxford Researchers Need?  where I describe the findings of the requirements gathering exercise with researchers in Oxford.
