Results of a survey on research data management in low-temperature plasma science

This document summarises the results of an online community survey, which was conducted from 2nd June 2020 to 31st July 2020 within the framework of the project "Quality Assurance and Linking of Research Data in Plasma Technology - QPTDat" (funded 2019–2022 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) in Germany, project numbers 16QK03A, 16QK03B and 16QK03C). The survey aimed at the evaluation of the status quo regarding research data management in the field of low-temperature plasma science as well as the identification of experimental and computational methods with great relevance to be used as a first reference for the design and testing of quality criteria and (meta)data models for research data management.
The QPTDat project teams at Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP), FIZ Karlsruhe – Leibniz-Institut für Informationsinfrastruktur GmbH and Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg) supported this work. The work was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant numbers 16QK01A, 16QK01B, 16QK01C. The authors are responsible for the content of this publication.
