Research Data Management Survey 2023 - Report on EPFL

2025

Abstract

Effective Research Data Management (RDM) is a critical aspect of the scientific process, ensuring data and code are well-organized, reproducible, and securely preserved. To better understand researchers' practices and needs, the EPFL Library conducts a biannual survey aimed at improving and developing tailored RDM services. In 2023, this survey was conducted in collaboration with DaSCH, Eawag, ETHZ, FHNW, and UNIL, reflecting a broader effort to harmonize RDM solutions across institutions. This report predominantly captured perspectives from EPFL’s core research community, particularly doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers from engineering and basic sciences

Postdoctoral researcher

A postdoctoral fellow, postdoctoral researcher, or simply postdoc, is a person professionally conducting research after the completion of their doctoral studies (typically a PhD). Postdocs most commonly, but not always, have a temporary academic appointment, sometimes in preparation for an academic faculty position. According to data from the US National science foundation. The number of holders of PhD in Biological sciences who end up in tenure track has consistently dropped in the last decades from over 50% in the 1970s to contemporary levels of 20% [direct reference needed].

Data management

Data management comprises all disciplines related to handling data as a valuable resource. The concept of data management arose in the 1980s as technology moved from sequential processing (first punched cards, then magnetic tape) to random access storage. Since it was now possible to store a discrete fact and quickly access it using random access disk technology, those suggesting that data management was more important than business process management used arguments such as "a customer's home address is stored in 75 (or some other large number) places in our computer systems.

Engineering

Engineering is the practice of using natural science, mathematics, and the engineering design process to solve problems, increase efficiency and productivity, and improve systems. Modern engineering comprises many subfields which include designing and creating infrastructure, machinery, vehicles, electronics, materials, and energy. The discipline of engineering encompasses a broad range of more specialized fields of engineering, each with a more specific emphasis on particular areas of applied mathematics, applied science, and types of application.
