Abstract

This study is an attempt to gain greater understanding of the preservation of primary data and records of social science research in digital formats. The work draws from the perceptions and ideas of those involved in the management and preservation of these records namely the researchers, research administrators, records managers and IT officers at the public research institutions and related organizations. Essentially mix-method in nature, this study sampled 411 respondents from eleven research institutions and related organizations for quantitative data and twelve informants for qualitative data from individual interviews and focus group discussions to permit purposive sampling. Qualitative data was also elicited from documents analysis. Phase one of the studyinvolved the examination and analysis of international best practice models and developed a generic model based on the InterPARES Chain of Preservation (CoP) and the United Kingdom Data Archives (UKDA) models. Phase two of the study involved investigation of the existing practices on the preservation of these data and records in the selected Malaysian public research institutions and related organizations. Phase three involved critical analysis of data gathered in phase two against the generic model developed in phase one of the study in order to develop a framework for the Malaysian case. The framework was validated through a focus group discussion.
