摘要：Data sharing can accelerate scientifc discovery while increasing return on investment beyond the researcher or group that produced them . Data repositories enable data sharing and preservation over the long term, but little is known about scientists’ perceptions of them and their perspectives on data management and sharing practices . Using focus groups with scientists from fve disciplines (atmospheric and earth science, computer science, chemistry, ecology, and neuroscience), we asked questions about data management to lead into a discussion of what features they think are necessary to include in data repository systems and services to help them implement the data sharing and preservation parts of their data management plans . Participants identifed metadata quality control and training as problem areas in data management . Additionally, participants discussed several desired repository features, including: metadata control, data traceability, security, stable infrastructure, and data use restrictions . We present their desired repository features as a rubric for the research community to encourage repository utilization. Future directions for research are discussed.
