The StORe project (http://jiscstore.jot.com/WikiHome) is a collaboration of seven
universities across the UK and the Johns Hopkins University in the USA and under
funding from the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC, http://www.jisc.ac.uk/). The
project sought to develop new ways of linking academic publications with repositories of
research data. Within the scope of the StORe project, an online questionnaire survey was
launched on the 13th March and ran until 21st April 2006, aiming to gain some
understanding about how repositories can be used to support research and scholarly
communication and to invite researchers to provide feedback about their use of source
and output repositories and their expectations for their future development. In addition to
the questionnaire survey, academic staff and postgraduate research students were
interviewed in order to gain a deeper insight into their research methods.
This report presents the findings from this online questionnaire survey and from
interviews with academic staff and postgraduate research students in the domain of
chemistry
