Research Project Tasks, Data, and Perceptions of Data Quality in a Condensed Matter Physics Community uri icon

abstract

  • To be effective and at the same time sustainable, a community data curation model needs to be aligned with the community's current data practices, including research project activities, data types, and perceptions of data quality. Based on a survey of members of the condensed matter physics (CMP) community gathered around theNationalHighMagneticFieldLaboratory, a large national laboratory, this article defines a model ofCMPresearch project tasks consisting of 10 task constructs. In addition, the study develops a model of data quality perceptions byCMPscientists consisting of four data quality constructs. The paper also discusses relationships among the data quality perceptions, project roles, and demographic characteristics ofCMPscientists. The findings of the study can inform the design of aCMPdata curation model that is aligned and harmonized with the community's research work structure and data practices.
