Report on the AHRC Digital/ Software Requirements Survey 2021: Where is Investment Needed?

A report by the Software Sustainability Institute (www.software.ac.uk) (SSI) on the Arts and Humanities Research Council (UKRI AHRC) community to better understand views on digital/software tools, experience of development of such tools, practices, learning intentions and preferences around how projects involving digital/software should be resourced. The report was originally intended to help inform the digital infrastructure funding being envisaged by the AHRC. In its final form we believe it's of use and interest to the AHRC and other arts and humanities funders, organisations which support arts and humanities research and practice, communities of practice, members of AHRC's community and to individuals wanting to learn more about these topics whether to inform their own practice or to understand the space.
