iassist-1172	Marmier, Auriane; Stepanovic, Stefan; Mettler, Tobias	In the data steward’s shoes: An autoethnographic exploration of everyday challenges	2025	19	.pdf	application/pdf	9018	514	45	Through four case studies drawn from lived experience, this paper illustrates recurring challenges that many DSs will recognise: (1) navigating conflicting data storage policies and external partner contracts; (2) preserving research data after the unexpected departure of a principal investigator; (3) managing legal risks related to insecure data collection tools; and (4) addressing the unintended consequences of requiring data management plans for infrastructure access. We contacted the relevant service to explain the situation, but after three meetings, it became clear that there was no way around the rule: only a PI could request storage, and without one, it was impossible to store research data on the institution’s servers.	cache/iassist-1172.pdf	txt/iassist-1172.txt
