Abstract
  • Oregon State University Libraries and Press is invested in providing high quality research data repository services through the OSU institutional repository, ScholarsArchive@OSU. As the product owner for ScholarsArchive@OSU and the lead of the OSULP Research Data Services program, respectively, we present the following report assessing that quality based on widely accepted standards of measurement for research data repositories. It is our intention that this work may be used in several ways: to articulate the strengths of the repository for data sharing; to identify directions for future development for data repository services; and to communicate transparently about the scope of research data services to the OSU research community. In section 2, we give an overview of selected resources for requirements and recommendations for research data repositories. In section 3, we describe characteristics of ScholarsArchive@OSU both in general and as a research data repository; within each subsection, we identify relevant criteria from the resources in section 2 and make a determination of our current compliance level. In section 4 we discuss the strengths and highlights of research data services in ScholarsArchive@OSU, as well as some challenges and limitations, and we make several recommendations where OSULP may focus development efforts in the repository for the benefit of research data services. We conclude with some notes on ScholarsArchive@OSU within the context of concurrent projects at OSULP and trends in the broader research data services landscape.
