title: “We’re all doing the best we can with what we’ve got” : Preservation practices of Data Curation Network members
creators: Hoa Luong Mikala Narlock Jon Petters
abstract: Over the course of six weeks, members of the Data Curation Network were interviewed by the Assistant Director to discuss their research data preservation practices. Through these semi-structured interviews, several commonalities emerged, including key challenges that will need to be addressed to ensure the long-term reusability of research data as well as the similar mentality many institutions expressed: that they are doing the best they can with what they have. The authors conclude by identifying areas of potential future research as well as practical collaboration opportunities.
