A proposed guide for developing the management and data services of research projects in Egyptian research centers

The study aimed to shed light on the stages of planning the data management of research projects in specialized research centers in Egypt, and then provide a proposed guide that includes practical frameworks and the necessary mechanisms that should be developed in order to improve the status of data management of research projects in Egyptian research centers and institutes, and to enhance the support services associated with them throughout the life cycle of the research project. The researcher used the field survey method, by applying appropriate data collection tools from the checklist, personal interview, and questionnaire, as well as using SWOT analysis as a nucleus to build the proposed guideline for the study, where the quadripartite analysis is the beginning of strategic planning, by identifying each of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. One of the most important findings of the study is to provide a proposed guide to support the data of research projects and enhance their services in Egyptian research centers and institutes and their libraries and as a tool for researchers in managing the life cycle of their research data in its various stages since its establishment, organization, storage and sharing until the data is accessed and reused, as well as coming up with a set of features expected to be achieved when applying this guide.
