Abstract

This paper discusses the development of a generic preservation model for the preservation of social science primary research data and records created by research institutions and related organizations in Malaysia. This paper also presents the analysing of various best practice pragmatic examples policies, guidelines and models on recordkeeping functional requirements and data archiving. The result of the analysis leads to the analysis of the InterPARES Chain of Preservation (CoP) model and United Kingdom Data Archives (UKDA) Life Cycle model that underpin the construction of the generic model.

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose a construction of the preservation framework for the preservation of social science research data and records in digital formats for the Malaysian case in order to fulfil the third objective of the study. It starts with the synthesis of mapping up the data from survey questionnaires and qualitative data gathered from face-to-face interviews against the elements of the generic preservation framework for the preservation of primary research data and records in digital format. This paper ends with the verification of the preservation framework elements by the interviewees in a focus group discussion from the three agencies involved in this study.

Abstract
Concerns raised about the lack of preservation initiatives and poor access to global scientific knowledge in the form of primary research data and records for research in the turn of the 20th century resulted in the development of a variety of ways to remedy the inadequacies associated with scholarly research data/products and dissemination of knowledge pertaining to research activities. The aim of the paper is to examine the needs for the surveyed social science research institutions in Malaysian government for the preservation of their digital primary research data. This paper presents the findings of the survey questionnaires of the existing practices on the preservation of primary research data in the selected Malaysian research institutions and related organizations. The questions asked in the survey were based on the elements of the generic preservation framework.
