Metadata 2020 Metadata Usage Survey Methods and Results Summary

The Metadata 2020 initiative is an ongoing effort to bring various scholarly communications stakeholder groups together to promote principles and standards of practice to improve the quality of metadata. To understand the perspectives and practices of the main stakeholder groups (librarians, publishers, researchers and repository managers) regarding metadata, the Metadata 2020 Researcher Communications Project Group conducted a survey in the summer of 2019. The survey content was generated by representatives from the stakeholder groups who are active in this Metadata 2020 project. This document provides a summary of the survey responses in both written and graphical form, and serves as a companion to the following resources: ANALYSIS PAPER: Kaiser,K, Urberg, M, Johnsson, M, Kemp, J, Meadows, A, Paglione, L, An International, Multi-Stakeholder Survey about Metadata Awareness, knowledge, and Use in Scholarly Communications.
