Sharing academic research: The role of repositories (Interview guides and deidentified transcripts)

Full description

Data description: All three researchers work at Curtin University, and use third-party repositories.

All interviews were online via Microsoft Teams. Interviews were video-recorded and transcribed using built-in Microsoft Teams functionality (with participant consent – see Appendix A)

Researcher 1 = R1, 26/07/2022, interview duration = 48m33s

Researcher 2 = R2, 27/07/2022, interview duration = 42m01s

Researcher 3 = R3, 29/07/2022, interview duration = 29m01s

The purpose of this research is to identify opportunities to support researchers in sharing their research outputs in repositories. Curtin University Library would like to find out more about how other universities support their researchers in using repositories for their research outputs, by talking to library leaders and repository managers in Australian universities who plan and manage repositories. We would also like to find out how Curtin University researchers are using third-party repositories. This project has been funded by Curtin University Library.
