數位化學術研究、第四典範、資料分享等趨勢讓研究資料管理相關議題廣受重視。研究資料管理為貫穿整個研究生命週期的活動，包含資料的產生、描述、儲存、備份、處理、分析、保存、分享、再利用等，有助於避免資料損毀或遺失，便利學者間發現、分享與再用研究資料，並確保科學研究與結果是可負擔的、可被取用的、公正的、可再現的、可被檢驗的、可持續發展的。本研究以研究資料管理的主要利害相關者—學者—為研究對象，以問卷調查法探索學者對研究資料管理相關議題的認知與實踐，包含學者在研究資料使用與產出、儲存與管理，以及分享與再用等方面的認知與行為，並進一步了解各項認知與行為是否因學科、研究年資、職稱等因素而有所差異。

The trends of digital scholarship, the fourth-paradigm, and data sharing attract attention to issues on research data management (RDM). RDM involves a series of activities throughout the whole research life cycle, including the production, description, storing, backing-up, processing, analyzing, preserving, sharing and reusing of research data. RDM assures scientific research affordable, accessible, fair, re-producible, verifiable, and sustainable. This study explores Taiwanese scholars’ perceptions and practices of RDM via a questionnaire survey. It investigated issues including sources and types of research data, data storage and search, metadata of research data, data management plan (DMP) mandates or requirements, training and support, and data sharing and reuse. Furthermore, it attempts to understand if scholars’ perceptions and practices reveal significant differences regarding subject disciplines, years of research experiences, and profession titles.
