Research data management is an important topic for funding agencies, universities and researchers. In this context, the main aim of this study is to collect preliminary information for Aperta, which is being developed by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, to fulfil the following goals: determine the research data management awareness levels of researchers in Turkey; understand current research data management practices in their research environments; and find out their experiences of policy issues. For this, a questionnaire was distributed to 37,223 researchers, with 1577 researchers completing it. The results indicated that researchers who spend more time with data have more concerns about data management issues. The levels of experience of creating a data management plan were quite low. The importance of this study lies in how it is able to show the current research data management practices of Turkish scholars during the new repository's foundational development stage.

Research data management in Turkey: perceptions and practices Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; TAŞKIN, ZEHRA (2017-01-01) Purpose - The massive increase in research data being produced nowadays has highlighted the importance of research data management (RDM) to science. Research data not only have to be cost effective but also reliable, discoverable, accessible, and reusable. In this regard, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the perceptions and practices of Turkish researchers on the subject of RDM.
Data Management in Astrobiology: Challenges and Opportunities for an Interdisciplinary Community Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; Malone, Jim (2014-06-01) Data management and sharing are growing concerns for scientists and funding organizations throughout the world. Funding organizations are implementing requirements for data management plans, while scientists are establishing new infrastructures for data sharing. One of the difficulties is sharing data among a diverse set of research disciplines. Astrobiology is a unique community of researchers, containing over 110 different disciplines. The current study reports the results of a survey of data management p...
Environmental Researchers' Data Practices: An Exploratory Study in Turkey Allard, Suzie; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur (2012-01-01) This qualitative exploratory study probes the knowledge and attitudes of information science and environmental researchers in Turkey towards scientific data and information particularly in regards to sharing and preservation. Ten environmental scientists and two information scientists were interviewed. Results reveal that research data is stored mostly on personal computers. This raises two issues: organizational and technological sustainability. Environmental scientists in Turkey do not engage in data-inte...
Spatio-temporal pattern and trend extraction on Turkish meteorological data Goler, Isil; Karagöz, Pınar; Yazıcı, Adnan (2012-12-01) Due to increasing amount of spatio-temporal data collected from various applications, spatio-temporal data mining has become a demanding and challenging research field requiring development of novel algorithms and techniques for successful analysis of large spatio-temporal databases. In this study, we propose a spatio-temporal mining technique and apply it on meteorological data, which has been collected from various weather stations in Turkey. In addition, we introduce one more mining level on the extracte...
Pattern extraction by using both spatial and temporal features on Turkish meteorological data Goler, Işıl; Yazıcı, Adnan; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) With the growth in the size of datasets, data mining has been an important research topic and is receiving substantial interest from both academia and industry for many years. Especially, spatio-temporal data mining, mining knowledge from large amounts of spatio-temporal data, is a highly demanding field because huge amounts of spatio-temporal data are collected in various applications. Therefore, spatio-temporal data mining requires the development of novel data mining algorithms and computational techniqu...
