Abstract

This study examines the research data curation processes used in the comprehensive open distance e-learning (CODeL) institution that supports open science. As a result, this study discusses the research data curation processes employed by the institution. This study aimed to articulate the research data curation processes and best practices for managing datasets submitted to the repository at the CODeL institution. A qualitative content analysis was used to review full-text, peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2026 under an open-access license. As a result, 24 eligible articles were retrieved from three identified databases: ProQuest, Library and Information Science Collection, and Web of Science. This study contributes a structure-based model of research data curation tailored for CODeL environments, enhancing institutional capacity for open data stewardship, and research visibility. Therefore, the CODeL institution supports open science by enabling data sharing through its repository.
