This dataset resulted from conducting focus groups with scientists from five disciplines (atmospheric and earth science, chemistry, computer science, ecology, and neuroscience) about data management to lead into a discussion of what features they think are necessary to include in data repository systems and services to help them implement the data sharing and preservation parts of their data management plans. Participants identified metadata quality control and training as problem areas in data management. Participants discussed several desired repository features, including: metadata control, data traceability, security, stable infrastructure, and data use restrictions. Our dataset includes five anonymized focus group transcripts in .pdf file format (one for each focus group with scientists from each discipline), our codebook as a spreadsheet in excel file format (.xlsx), and coded segments of our transcript text to visualize our data analysis in an excel spreadsheet in excel file format (.xlsx).

This dataset (anonymized transcripts that were coded based on themes) is from focus groups with scientists (n=25) from five disciplines (atmospheric and earth science, computer science, chemistry, ecology, and neuroscience), where we asked questions about data management to lead into a discussion of what features they think are necessary to include in data repository systems and services to help them implement the data sharing and preservation parts of their data management plans. Participants identified metadata quality control and training as problem areas in data management. Additionally, participants discussed several desired repository features, including: metadata control, data traceability, security, stable infrastructure, and data use restrictions. The dataset was created using MAXQDA and has the .mx20 file format extent.
