Research image management practices reported by scientific literature: Studies that explore the use and production of images in research

The dataset includes a set of 109 articles that include relevant information about image management in the context of research. Selected articles are grouped according to Web of Science research domains.13 dimensions of analysis were created, in order to detail the characteristics of each of the works in relation to the effective management of images. Controlled vocabularies were also developed for some of the variables, in order to systematize and categorize the information.

Methodology The overall selection process followed the PRISMA statement (Liberati et al., 2009). We use the Web Of Science (WoS) and considered the five main research areas of WoS: Arts and Humanities (ArtH), Life Sciences and Biomedicine (LifeSB), Physical Sciences (PhyS), Social Sciences (SocS), and Technology (Tech). Instead of defining a search query, as typically done in systematic reviews, we included the most relevant articles per research domain. Note that we do not want to collect articles related to a specific topic. Instead, we want to gather the most important papers in each discipline and analyze their image-management practices. To pick the most relevant articles for each domain, we selected the 10 most cited articles in Web of Science, per year, between 2010 and 2021. In addition, articles should be in the English language and in open access. Overall, we identified 600 articles. Of these, 109 (18.2%) constituted the final sample. The articles that caused any doubt about the inclusion/exclusion were read almost in full. Of the 109 documents, 29 (26.6%) belong to the domain of Arts and Humanities, 23 (21.1%) of Life Sciences and Biomedicine, 2 (1.8%) of Social Sciences, 21 (19.3%) of Physical Sciences and 34 (31.2%) of Technology.
