Abstract

We present the results of the Polish part of a study conducted within the framework of the international research project named ReDaM coordinated by the Information Literacy Association (InLitAs). It was a quantitative study based on use of a questionnaire consisted of 25 open-ended and multiple choice questions that was translated from English into Polish. Data were collected from February to the end of April 2017. The target groups were doctoral students and faculty employed at the University of Warsaw and Wrocław University of Science and Technology. The study revealed that a significant number of respondents knew the basic concepts related to Research Data Management (RDM). At the same time, they had not used institutional solutions elaborated in their parent institutions. We did not notice any differences in RDM practices between the fields of study at the two universities. However, we did notice significant differences between academic staff and research students.
