Abstract

This research employs qualitative research to investigate the management and process of rice research data management in Thailand. The 28 administrators and rice researchers from 11 rice research centers were selected by purposive sampling. Data forms were collected and semi-structured interviews were arranged. Inductive content analysis was employed to analyze the data. The results found that most of the rice research data management in Thailand is based on researcher practice, in accordance with the research funder requirement. Research data integration and exchange with external organizations were not interoperable. Rice research data collection and production were conducted by researchers. The data were classified and stored in research project folders in the researchers’ personal storage space or organization database without any research data management plan for preservation. Rice research data were published in bibliographic format and articles in the proceedings of organizations.
