Abstract
This paper reports a study that investigated how agricultural
researchers use and reuse other researchers’ data in Tanzania.
This research used a survey method to investigate the factors
influencing researchers in this use/reuse. Findings indicated
that more than 80% of researchers use and reuse data accessed
from different sources. Several factors influence the majority
of researchers (more than 70%) to use and reuse data. The
results of this study may attract the attention of agricultural
researchers elsewhere to agricultural data use and reuse
practices.
