On October 5, 2022, the “Workshop on Quality Management at Research Data Repositories” – jointly organized by re3data COREF and CoreTrustSeal – was held online with more than 70 participants attending. The objective of the workshop was to discuss activities research data repositories perform to assure, assess, and improve data quality. The workshop started with input from the workshop organizers: re3data COREF presented results of a recent suvey on quality management at repositories, and CoreTrustSeal shared the perspective of a certification organization. Then, repositories from different disciplinary backgrounds presented their approaches to quality management. The workshop concluded with a breakout session and a plenary discussion on options for making information on data quality assurance more visible.
