Abstract

Research Data Management (RDM) systems are becoming an essential part of every researcher’s academic career. Often, researchers use various resources and web applications to handle their research data, causing complications for maintaining data and assessing research projects against FAIR principles. Consequently, RDM platforms help researchers with data administration tasks while providing the necessary tools for managing research projects. Furthermore, user engagement with such RDM platforms leaves traces of user interaction with research data; thus, studying user behaviors over research data becomes an exciting territory. However, running periodic data analysis studies proves to be a time-consuming and challenging task and requires the help of scientific staff to run pre-and post-processing pipelines per use case in order to be able to produce results that are usable by domain experts. This paper introduces Data Analysis for Research Data Management systems (DA4RDM) as a scalable web application that supports reusing pre-defined pre-and post-processing pipelines to enable domain experts to utilize the system without the need for scientific expertise. We use real data acquired from an RDM system, explain the tool’s applicability, and present the preliminary findings, demonstrating its use cases and capabilities.
