Dataset for "Good practice versus reality: A landscape analysis of Research Software metadata adoption in European Open Science Clusters"

This dataset was collected using this GitHub repository Repositories-Extraction, collected the links to the repositories from each scientific cluster, and using the GitHub repository Metadata-Extraction, we were able to extract the relevant information needed to answer our research questions (RQ):

• RQ1: How do communities describe Research Software metadata in their code repositories?
• RQ2: What is the adoption of archival infrastructures across disciplines?
• RQ3: How do software projects adopt versioning?
• RQ4: How comprehensive is the metadata provided in code repositories? Specifically:
  • What is the adoption of open licenses?
  • Do research projects include a description?
  • How well documented are research projects? (i.e., in terms of installation instructions, requirements and documentation availability
• RQ5: What are the most common citation practices among communities?

The dataset has two types of information, for example for one cluster we can say "ENVRI", for each RQ you will find "analysis_envri_rq1.json" which contains the information extracted using SOMEF and processed to extract the relevant information, and you will find "results_envri_rq1.json" which is the calculations of the percentages of each relevant files to the RQ.
