Overview

Research data management (RDM) in Japanese academic research institutions has already been practiced in the natural sciences and engineering. However, it is difficult to say that there is sufficient understanding or implementation of research data in the humanities and social sciences. Academic institutions in Southeast Asian countries are also facing similar problems. The Center for Southeast Asian Studies (CSEAS), Kyoto University, has built networks with universities and communities in Southeast Asia. Using this network, we started an international exchange project to support the promotion of RDM. As its preliminary stage, we have surveyed the current state of RDM in Japan.

This workshop will shortly provide some RDM activities at Japanese universities, report our survey on the current situation of RDM in Japan, and show an overview of our exchange project. The workshop welcomes researchers, librarians, and archivists in the Asian region interested in or facing problems with academic RDM. By sharing our experiences and knowledge, the workshop aims to create a framework that promotes human resources development related to RDM in this region.
