dc.description.abstractA strategy in this paper was viewed as a plan of action for achieving the mission and vision of anorganisation. This paper presents preliminary findings of the larger study which aimed to determine thestrategies for research data management (RDM) at selected universities in KwaZulu-Natal. The currentstudy used the community capability maturity model framework (CCMF) and the digital curation centre(DCC) lifecycle model as theoretical support to determine the strategies for RDM service provision withspecific reference to the University of Zululand. The interpretive paradigm, following the qualitativeresearch approach through a single case study, was used. Primary data was gathered through onlineinterviews using Zoom and Teams with Librarians, Technicians, HODs, and DVC Research due to theCovid-19 pandemic and availability of technologies. The findings of the study revealed the University ofZululand does not have an RDM policy; however, research activities are practiced. The University lacksthe infrastructure and investment to support RDM services and activities. The study is significant for providing the background for developing RDM in the public university through RDM strategy and policy.The findings also sought to inform the university’s RDM agenda.
