Investig. bibl [online]. 2021, vol.35, n.86, pp.99-121.  Epub 01-Ago-2021. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2021.86.58266.

This article aimed to analyze the challenges faced by academic libraries in the research data management, as it is presented in the scientific literature. To this end, a bibliographic investigation was carried out using the Library and Information Science Abstracts (LISA) database. After careful evaluation, sixteen articles were selected, which constituted the basis for the elaboration of a descriptive model for research data management in academic libraries.

The results of this showed that the elaboration of the policy and of the research data management plan, the development of technological infrastructure, the processing and analysis of data, the sharing and preservation of data, and the training of researchers and librarians, are the main actions developed by libraries. However, the libraries face challenges such as dealing with disciplinary differences, the lack of financial resources, the awareness of researchers for developing the research data management plan, the creation of data repositories, the definition of standards for data sharing and archiving, and the lack of training for librarians in research data management services. To overcome all of this, it is concluded that the professional updating of the librarian, is essential.
