Archival Research

Archival Research

Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Informatics
Data Management

Background:

Current management of biomedical research imaging data at universities is often fragmented and researcher-dependent.
This contrasts with recommendations for professional research data management from bodies like the German Research Foundation (DFG).

Purpose of the Study:

To address the shortcomings in biomedical research imaging data management.
To propose the installation of local central repositories as a solution.
To analyze functional requirements for such repositories.

Main Methods:

Developed a scenario based on abstracted use-cases for institutional and collaborative research projects.
Analyzed the functional requirements for a local repository system.

Main Results:

Identified eight generic categories of functional requirements for central repositories.
These categories provide a guideline for minimum repository functionality.

Conclusions:

Local central repositories are a viable solution for improving biomedical research imaging data management.
Defined functional requirements offer a framework for developing effective data management systems.
