Abstract | Purpose: To study the behavior and attitude regarding management and sharing of research data of researchers in Thai universities.Methodology: It was survey research. Data were collected using an online questionnaire. The sample group includes 400 researchers from universities in Thailand from Group 1 universities, global and frontier research group and Group 2 universities, technology development and innovation group. Data were analyzed using frequency, mean, percentage, standard deviation, t-test, ANOVA, and Chi-Square.Findings: Most respondents had never reused other researchers' research data and had never shared it openly. Most had shared data upon request and shared with colleagues, store data on personal computers and password-protected cloud storage. The project leaders are responsible for data storage. Factors that respondent had an attitude on that had an impact on data sharing included ownership of research data, academic benefits, and data usage costs. And most of them are interested in sharing research data. Demographic characteristics with different attitudes towards data sharing include age, disciplines, research experience, and the number of articles published in international academic journals in the past 5 years. And disciplines, highest level of education, and the number of articles published in international academic journals in the past 5 years are related to interest in sharing research data.Applications of this study: Research results can be used in planning the country's research data management operations, such as policies, guidelines, enforcement, creating awareness and educating researchers, and developing appropriate tools to support research data management and sharing. |
