The DCC SCARP Project will investigate disciplinary attitudes and approaches to data deposit, sharing and re-use, curation and preservation. It will do this through a range of methods, combining traditional survey/literature review approaches with up to 10 immersive case studies in selected discipline areas. The result will be a significant increase in understanding of this critical area, documented in a number of reports.
