The document outlines the objectives and findings of the DIPIR project, a study funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services that explores data reuse among quantitative social scientists, archaeologists, and zoologists. It details the research methods, including surveys and interviews, to assess factors influencing data reuse satisfaction, with findings emphasizing the importance of data completeness, accessibility, and ease of operation. Future steps involve further analysis of variables impacting the model for data reuse satisfaction.

- 3. • Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funded project led by Drs. Ixchel Faniel (PI) & Elizabeth Yakel (co-PI) • Studying the intersection between data reuse and digital preservation in three academic disciplines to identify how contextual information about the data that supports reuse can best be created and preserved. • Focuses on research data produced and used by quantitative social scientists, archaeologists, and zoologists. • The intended audiences of this project are researchers who use secondary data and the digital curators, digital repository managers, data center staff, and others who collect, manage, and store digital information.
