Abstract

The Data Curation Network collectively curates research data deposited to academic and non-profit data repositories. Curators participating in the DCN, who bring a wide variety of subject and file type expertise, are matched with datasets from across the network of (currently 12) partner repositories. After the first year of piloting the DCN’s shared curation service we determined that a key consideration for a cross-institutional collaboration is the satisfaction of those participating. We launched a brief, anonymous survey in May 2020 to gauge the satisfaction of DCN curators, their engagement with the DCN community, and assess their interest in continuing their participation beyond the current grant phase (May 2018 - June 2021). We received 19 responses from the 24 DCN curators invited to take the survey (79% response rate). This summary report presents our findings and discusses the work done over the subsequent months to address curator feedback and better engage our community members in the DCN going forward.
