Abstract

Purpose

Research assessment has long been important for directing research funding, rationalizing research organizations and enhancing productivity, including concentrating on specialized subjects. But due to a lack of data, research assessment procedures centered on simple indicators that solely included publications and their citation counts. The Dimensions is one such prodigy of technological evolution like the internet in discovering the research data metrics.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper outlines Dimensions, the emergence of Dimensions by partnering with various development partners into a single robust platform and provides directions on implementing a free tool for research insights: Dimensions badge.

Findings

The Dimensions platform for research insights pulls together data on financing, publications, policy, patents and grants.

Originality/value

This tool is freely available to libraries worldwide.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to provide statistical information on the worldwide spread of the open-source research data management application, the Dataverse Project, to librarians, data managers and information managers who are considering using the application at their own institution.

Design/methodology/approach

To produce a list of dataverse repositories, the official Dataverse website was evaluated, and JSON data were downloaded and parsed. Data standardisation was performed to assess the state of installations in various nations and continents across the world.

Findings

Globally, the Dataverse repositories have seen a rise in overall installations. The year 2020 alone saw a 23.21% rise. In a country-by-country comparison, the USA (13) has the most dataverse installations, while Europe (25) has the highest number of installations worldwide.

Originality/value

This research will be useful to librarians, data managers and information managers, among others, who want to learn more about Dataverse repositories throughout the world before deploying at their local level.
