This data was collected and processed as part of the CRC 985 INF project. It was used to create an overview of the data-producing methods available and employed throughout the project and their associated file types. This information was used as a basis for the associated manuscript (see related identifiers). The Jupyter Notebook used to create the figures in the manuscipt is included within this dataset. Furthermore, the surveys give insight into research data management practices within this project and large, interdisciplinary projects in general.
