Faniel, Lionel P. Robert Jr</h2> </div> <div class="parsyscolumncontrol section"> <div class="parsys_column cq-colctrl-lt2-r"> <div class="parsys_column cq-colctrl-lt2-r-c0"> <div class="col0 parsys"><div class="text parbase section"> <p>Most studies of trusted digital repositories have focused on the internal factors delineated in the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model—organizational structure, technical infrastructure, and policies, procedures, and processes. Typically, these factors are used during an audit and certification process to demonstrate a repository can be trusted. The factors influencing a repository's designated community of users to trust it remains largely unexplored.</p> <p>This article proposes and tests a model of trust in a data repository and the influence trust has on users' intention to continue using it. Based on analysis of 245 surveys from quantitative social scientists who published research based on the holdings of one data repository, findings show three factors are positively related to data reuser trust—integrity, identification, and structural assurance.</p> <p> In turn, trust and performance expectancy are positively related to data reusers' intentions to return to the repository for more data. As one of the first studies of its kind, it shows the conceptualization of trusted digital repositories needs to go beyond high-level definitions and simple application of the OAIS standard. Trust needs to encompass the complex trust relationship between designated communities of users that the repositories are being built to serve.</p> </div> <div class="text parbase section"> <p><span class="link-btn-green"><a title="View the article" href="https://asistdl.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asi.24933">View Article</a></span><br /> <span class="small text-grey"><em>JASIST - Journal of the Association of Information Science and Technology</em></span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="parsys_column cq-colctrl-lt2-r-c1"> <div class="col1 parsys"><div class="highlightbox section">  <div class="hbox "> <div class="highlightbox parsys"><div class="image parbase section"> <figure class="figure-stack-image img-center-nobrdr"> <img src="/content/research/publications/2024/empirical-examination-data-reuser-trust-digital-repository-JASIST/_jcr_content/par/parsyscolumncontrol/col1/highlightbox/highlightbox/image.img.png/1719253784015.png" alt="JASIST Journal Cover" title="jasist" class="cq-dd-image"> <figcaption> <div class="img-caption"></div> <div class="img-attribution"></div> </figcaption> </figure></div> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="highlightbox section">  <div class="hbox "> <div class="highlightbox parsys"><div class="text parbase section"> <p>Publisher Recommended Citation</p> </div> <div class="text parbase section"> <p>Yakel, E., Faniel, I.
