The “Handbuch Repositorienmanagement” (Handbook of Repository Management) offers comprehensive help and a working basis for all those who deal with repositories or work with them. For the first time, not only research data and other digital content of repositories are considered, but special attention is paid to the management of repositories.
The handbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the different areas and the wide range of tasks involved in managing a repository. The three main sections deal with the requirements, challenges and future developments of repository management. The contributions in the first section focus on theoretical foundations and strategic aspects. In the second section, these fundamental perspectives and applications are explored in greater depth. The third section uses case studies to illustrate how repositories can be successfully implemented and used in practice.
The topics of the handbook range from data management and visibility to legal aspects, accessibility, sensitive data, data visualization and marketing – and beyond.
The handbook emphasizes the essential importance of repositories for transparent, sustainable and efficient scientific work. It comprehensively discusses both the challenges and the opportunities associated with the use of repositories. Repositories are far more than just a place to store data; they increase the visibility, accessibility and reusability of research results. The handbook is aimed at beginners as well as practitioners and is therefore a valuable aid for anyone interested in the topic.
