Systematic Review of Researches in the Field of Research Data of Management Literacy

 Research data management is a set of activities related to the storage, access, and preservation of generated data which includes benefits such as maintaining the integrity and replication of research, increasing data security leading to risk of data loss, and enhancing the implementation of quality research. Acquiring knowledge and skills related to research data management creates many job opportunities for information professionals and helps researchers to fulfill their demands. In this regard, this research aimed to identify the state of research in the field of research data of management literacy.

 The current research was a systematic review with qualitative approach, which is devoted to collecting the studies conducted on a specific subject, examined and revised the resulting information according to certain systematic principles, and presented the results for analysis. More concretely a comprehensive view of related studies and providing researchers with a specific subject area for this purpose, researches related to several stages of searching in international and domestic databases, considering the time range, foreign books and articles between 2012 and 2022 AD and Persian between 1391 and 1401 AD. Fifty works related to the topic of research data of management literacy were searched from research articles of publications, conferences, and dissertations.

 Research data management is one of the emerging branches of science and the main goal of this new field is to help researchers, professors, and students in planning from start to finish. A review of the studies showed that 50 domestic and foreign researchers have addressed the issue of research data of management literacy and related elements. Research has been in 5 main axes, which include: 1. Research data management infrastructure, 2. Research data sharing, 3. Data literacy and research data management literacy, 4. Research data management training. Research, and 5. Research management skills in this field.

 The results of this research showed that research in the field of research data segmentation has been investigated more than other related topics, but the research related to research data management literacy is very limited, especially in Iran. Increasing the level of research data of management literacy requires a lot of effort from universities and higher education institutions. In addition, according to the research conducted outside of Iran, business skills related to research data of management literacy will help people to work harder in advancing the goals of this valuable topic and start to transform the management mechanism. Having their data, they also benefit from teaching and improving students' literacy from the beginning of their studies in the curriculum of different levels.
