Case studies

To better relate theory to practice, we offer a range of case studies carried out by DCC. Use cases describe how research data management and curation are being addressed in practice, illustrating how relevant challenges are addressed and opportunities explored by researchers, their institutions and service providers. They include use cases for selected tools, applications and services.

The studies provide examples of digital curation practice across a range of disciplines. Some identify areas where additional guidance, tools and research are required. 

Listed below are PDF copies of just a few recent study reports. For further details on SCARP and more studies select SCARP from the menu on the right.
