Towards an A-Z of visual arts research data: disseminating guidance and information from the KAPTUR Environmental Assessment Report

Abstract

This poster stems from research carried out in trying to understand the perceptions towards arts research data as given by researchers working in the field. The KAPTUR Environmental Assessment Report analysed data from 8 informal interviews with researchers, a literature review, and 16 in-depth one-hour recorded interviews with visual arts researchers based at the partner institutions. This investigation into the nature of visual arts research data was an opportunity to explore the needs of researchers and the environment at each institution. The Report led into the writing of arts research data management polices at each partner institution, as well as further work to develop pilot technical infrastructure and pilot training and support tools for researchers
