Purpose: Explore
the process of conducting research data management services and provide
effective recommendations for academic libraries to conduct data management
services. Design/methodology/approach: On the
premise of summarizing and analyzing the connotation of research data
management, this paper discusses the characteristics of university research
data management. By sorting out many cases of research data management, we
summed up several major elements of research data management service practice
in universities: policy formulation, infrastructure, service content, funding
model, and staffing. Findings/value: Systematically
sort out the basic elements and development status of university research data
management service practice and provide reference for the university to carry
out research data management service.
