A SUMMARY ON SELECTION AND APPRAISAL OF DATA Selection and appraisal of data are important activities in research data management and digital curation, because they help institutions to identify, preserve, and provide access to variable and reliable research information for future use. In digital curation, selection involves determining which datasets, digital records, or research materials should be retained, while appraisal refers to evaluating their long-term significance based on factors such as research value, originality, authenticity, legal requirements, ethical issues, and potential for reuse (Higgins, 2008). The continuous increase in digital research output, big data, and open science practices has made effective appraisal procedures more necessary in libraries, archives, and research institutions. Cox et...al. (2019) note that academic libraries are increasingly expected to support researchers throughout the research data lifecycle, including during the selection and app...

  SUMMARY ON DATA COLLECTION AND REPOSITORIES Data collection and repositories are central components of effective research data management (RDM), ensuring that data is not only generated systematically but also preserved and made accessible for future use. Data collection refers to the structured process of gathering information through methods such as surveys, interviews, observations, or document analysis. In RDM, emphasis is placed on producing high-quality, reliable, and well-documented data. This includes the use of standardised procedures and tools, as well as the creation of metadata that describes the content, methodology, and structure of the data. Proper documentation enhances data integrity and enables reuse, which aligns with the FAIR principles ensuring that data is findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (Wilkison et...al., 2016). The Digital Curation Centre (DCC) Lifecycle Model highlights data collection within the “create or receive” stage, emphasi...
