In this study, we proposed a method to systematically manage research data in the field of condensed matter physics, which is the most active and interdisciplinary field.
In the course of the research, a questionnaire was conducted for researchers in the field of condensed matter physics. The questionnaire was constructed based on the research data management tool Data Asset Framework(DAF) and the FAIR principle for data sharing and reuse. The current status of research data management in the field of condensed matter physics was collected from 14 researchers. The collected data consisted of data on the characteristics and basic information of researchers who answered the questionnaire, data preservation and management, and data sharing and access.
By analyzing the collected questionnaire results, nine problems were drawn about the characteristics of research data in the field of condensed matter physics, data collection and production, data preservation and management, data sharing and access.
In terms of data collection and production, the lack of a management system reflecting the experimental process, lack of guidelines for various types of research data, and a lack of a management system reflecting the sensitivity and confidentiality of research data were identified as problems.
In terms of data preservation and management, the lack of formal data management plans and guidelines/policies, lack of responsibility for researchers, research data management gap, and loss of research data were identified as problems.
In terms of data sharing and access, the limitations of the sharing and access of research data and the lack of a system for accessing and reusing data were drawn as problems. In this study, suggestions were made to improve the problems derived from each aspect.
