FAIRe Forschungsdaten in den Geisteswissenschaften

Umfrage über Aufbereitung und Archivierung von Daten

Abstract

Using a small, non-representative and anonymous survey from 2021, this article shows how researchers in the field of children’s and youth media in German-speaking countries currently handle their research data, whether long-term data availability is addressed, whether the FAIR principles are taken into account, what additional support they may need and how research institutions can respond. The results show that further support in data management is needed. An expansion and stronger promotion of the range of tools and storage options seems also important, as well as greater involvement of researchers and optimising the training and further education on offer.
