    abstract = {Hitherto, various database systems exist in archiving research data at institutions of higher learning
in Malaysia. The library, Centre of Research Management, Centres of Excellence, Publisher and e-Repository
have separate databases to archive and manage the data. This poses a challenge as no one department is in
a position to ‘own’ the resulting set of services. Data are complex and heterogeneous and little agreement is
reached on standards to describe data across disciplines. Hence, a centralized research data management is vital
to act as a single source of ‘signposting’ information which offers a valuable resource for researchers from
multi-disciplinary fields for the different stages of research cycle. This study investigated the ways in which
universities in the advanced countries implemented data management infrastructure through a qualitative
content analysis of websites. The data are useful toward devising a conceptual framework of research data
management for the Malaysian Higher Institutions. Furthermore, the proposed framework with will be useful
for Research Management Centres in universities to provide a centralized platform for researchers in guiding
them through the research data life cycle and offer fresh insights.}
