Abstract

The rapid development of new artificial intelligence and data processing technologies has made scientific data an indispensable and crucial resource in scientific research. This study conducted a survey and analysis of scientific data needs among users of the National Science and Technology Library (hereinafter referred to as “NSTL”), aiming to explore the demands and usage characteristics of scientific data resources in different research fields. The goal is to provide insights for the development and service of new literature resources. Through questionnaire surveys and interviews, researchers’ needs for scientific data resources, their usage patterns, acquisition methods, difficulties in obtaining and utilizing scientific data, and the application scenarios of scientific data were investigated. A total of 477 questionnaires were collected, and statistical analysis methods were employed to summarize the characteristics of researchers’ needs and utilization of scientific data, including: (1) Overall high demand, with variations in demand intensity across different disciplines; (2) Predominantly free sources, with variations in source distribution between different disciplines; (3) Widespread application scenarios for scientific data; (4) Lack of effective platforms for scientific data sharing and information channels. Based on these characteristics, implications for literature resource development and services are proposed: (1) The significant demand for scientific data by researchers highlights the importance of developing and providing services for scientific data resources; (2) The distinct disciplinary differences in the characteristics of scientific data demand necessitate personalized resource development and services; (3) Some researchers lack sufficient awareness of scientific data, emphasizing the necessity for relevant promotional and training services.
