Abstract

This study aims to uncover researchers' trends towards the use of open research data in the field of natural and life sciences available through repositories indexed in the Re3data. We relied on a descriptive method using a quantitative approach to study the attitudes of 35 permanent researchers affiliated with the Algerian Center for Research in the Environment, using an electronic questionnaire to interview them and collect data. The study found that the respondents possess high skills in using open research data, but their skills in using the indexed repositories in Re3data are moderate due to their limited experience with the data available through these repositories. The study also indicated that there are no differences in researchers' trends attributed to the variable of the specialized research department, except for the differences found in the form of the content used.
