Abstract
Academic libraries play an increasingly crucial role in providing services, information, education, and infrastructure support related to research data management (RDM). This systematic review aims to provide a comprehensive and critical analysis of the state of RDM services offered by academic libraries worldwide. Utilizing the systematic review methodology, the paper examines 89 empirical studies to answer four research questions: (1) the types of RDM services implemented by academic libraries; (2) what are the infrastructure, workflow, and resources used to support these services; (3) what are the reasons for implementing these RDM services; and (4) the effectiveness of these RDM services in supporting the research data life cycle, if any. This review highlights the critical reasons academic libraries provide RDM services and how they implemented these services through partnerships, infrastructure, and systems, and adapting to new workflows within the library. These findings also examine the balance between institutional contexts, researchers’ needs, and library resources required to provide these RDM services. By investigating these questions, the results will provide recommendations and guidance for academic libraries interested in implementing RDM services in their own library and institutional contexts.
