What researchers want: A literature study of researchers’ requirements with respect to storage and access to research data

In October 2010, the Dutch universities explored possible projects in the area of research data.One of the outcomes of this discussion was the decision to first investigate what researchers need
with respect to storing and accessing research data. The present literature study is the result of
that investigation. Fifteen sources were studied, consisting of reports from 2008-2010 covering the
Netherlands, the UK, the USA, Australia and Europe.
