ODISSEI (Open Data Infrastructure for Social Science and Economic Innovations) is the national research infrastructure for the social sciences in the Netherlands. ODISSEI brings together researchers with the necessary data, expertise and resources to conduct ground-breaking research and embrace the computational turn in social enquiry.

In collaboration with DANS-KNAW (https://dans.knaw.nl), ODISSEI (https://odissei-data.nl) wants to support research data supporters working with (quantitative) social science data toward Open Science (https://www.openscience.nl/en/what-is-open-science) and the implementation of the FAIR principles (https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles).
We want to compile a wealth of useful resources to be used in the day to day work by data professionals. In addition, we want to facilitate exchange between data stewards working with researchers in the field of social sciences to share experiences and useful resources.

This survey aims to get in touch with data stewards and data professionals working with (quantitative) social science data to learn more about their Research Data Management and FAIR data practices. It wishes to discover what the challenges in relation to Research Data Management are, and how tailored FAIR Data Support could be set up to overcome them.
