Abstract
Due to the vast amounts of data generated during research activities and mandates obtained from funding agencies, higher education institutions put a high priority on research data management (RDM). RDM is prioritized by global organizations, and India is no exception. The current work aims to address the current state of RDM in the top-ranked higher education institutions (HEIs) of India and attempts to answer the research questions posed on various aspects of RDM, such as RDM services, policy implementation, responsible stakeholders, funding support for RDM strategy and development, and so on. Furthermore, unlike most of the existing literature, the development of RDM capacity is viewed as an institutional concern in this study rather than a library concern. The survey and website analysis approaches were used to conduct this study. The outcomes of the study show that RDM is still in its early stage among India’s leading institutions.
