国内外科学数据管理服务评价研究与实践进展

Advances in Evaluation of Research Data Management Services at Home and Abroad: Research and Practice

科学数据管理服务评价对相关方具有重要决策参考作用,对科学数据管理服务评价的研究与实践进展进行综述,能够为未来研究和实践提供有价值的参考。文章首先简要综述数据管理服务的概念内涵和理论依据,将数据评价对象概括为科学数据、科学数据管理基础设施和科学数据管理服务三类,评价内容主要包括数据对利益相关者产生的作用和对更广阔的社会经济活动产生的价值两个维度,评价方法包括定性分析和定量分析两种。国内外均在一定范围内开展了科学数据管理服务评价实践,国内评价直观呈现服务对象及内容的数量,尚且缺乏相对成熟和统一的评价指标体系;国外评价侧重数据服务经济价值的定量评估,但没有在更大范围开展也没有持续开展。综述现有研究和实践,展望未来研究和实践方向,尝试构建具有可操作性的、相对统一的评价方法和指标体系,以期助力评价实践更深入而广泛地进行。

The evaluation of research data management services is of great significance to the decision-making for stakeholders.Reviewing the advances of research and practice of evaluation of research data management services can provide a valuable reference for further research and practice.This paper briefly summarizes the conceptions and theoretical basis of data management services,and identifies the data evaluation objects as research data,research data management infrastructure and research data management services.The evaluation content mainly includes data value for stakeholders and wider impact on community and society.What’s more,it has qualitative methods and quantitative methods when measuring the value and impact.Naturally,there are assessments both at home and abroad.The domestic measurements focus on the number of outputs and lack of unified metric indicators.By contrast,the foreign estimations center on economic value of data services.To sum up,it is necessary to build a more operable,mature and standardized evaluation methods and metrics for further study and activities.
