Assessment of Research Data Management Awareness and Practice among University and Higher Education Students: A Systematic Literature Review

Researchers are aware of their need for research data awareness, knowledge, and skills. Therefore, they demand research data management training. As early career researchers and future generations of great researchers, students need to have a complete understanding and skills to manage their research data. Therefore, this study is made to identify university students' research data management practices. This study uses a systematic literature review as the method. PRISMA framework is used to obtain the reviewed literature. Web of Science database results from specific keywords were downloaded, and 60 articles were found. After the screening, the literature to be reviewed is five articles. The results are that there is clear evidence that university students are not adequately prepared to manage research data. This is evident because they have only a rudimentary understanding of the concept, process, and service of research data management at their institutions. Students can only be expected to have advanced knowledge of research data management if they are aware of its importance. Therefore, to improve their awareness, understanding, and skills, it is necessary to conduct research data management training.
