| Abstract: | This article is a general introduction into the special issue of Archival Science on “archiving research data”. It summarizes
the different contributions and gives an overview of the main issues in this special field of archiving. One of the leading
questions is how and why research data archives differ from public record offices. In the past, the developments in these
two worlds have been rather separate. There are however signs that they are converging in the digital world. In particular,
this can be seen in the areas of metadata and Internet dissemination as these are strongly influenced by the rapid changes
in information technology. These changes have also led to important new developments in the infrastructure of research data
to which special attention is paid. New concepts such as collaboratories, data curation, Open Access and the Open Archives
Initiative are discussed.
