README file for "Whitmire, Amanda L. (2015): Data and code from: Variability in academic research data management practices: implications for data services development from a faculty survey. Oregon
State University Libraries. Dataset. http://dx.doi.org/10.7267/N9J1012R ".
There are two zip folders associated with this dataset, DataFiles.zip and RCode.zip. The file list for each folder is given below. The data files are comma-separated text files containing data that has been exported from Qualtrics survey software and extracted from the larger dataset. These data support a manuscript published in the journal Program, titled, “Variability in academic research data management practices: implications for data services development from a faculty survey”. [This readme will be updated with the article citation information when it becomes available.]
File naming conventions for the data files and R code are meant to very briefly allude to the contents or purpose of the file. Each R acript produces a heatmap figure, which is used in the paper. The data and code are briefly described.
