Abstract

Academic libraries need to store, preserve, and manage scholars' intellectual output, hence the importance of research data management in academic libraries. This chapter focuses on research data management in academic libraries, and it aims at examining the concept of research data, which is referred to as the evidence used to inform or support research conclusions, while data management, on the other hand involves planning for and creating data, organizing, structuring, and documenting data, backing up and storing data, and preparing data for analysis to share with others or to preserve for the long-term.
