Abstrakt: 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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
