ABSTRACT

Based on international records management standards, this study aims to analyze the appraisal frameworks reflected in the research records retention and disposal schedules of overseas universities to derive policy implications for establishing a research records appraisal system in South Korean universities. To this end, a literature-based comparative analysis was conducted across 12 research-intensive universities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and China. Utilizing ISO 15489-1:2016 and ISO/TR 21946:2018 as theoretical foundations, an integrated analytical framework was developed to address the structure, content, and operation of retention and disposal schedules. The analysis revealed that overseas universities have established and implemented research records retention and disposal schedules that comply with international records management standards. Furthermore, these schedules are employed as strategic information governance tools to protect the institutions’ unique information assets and manage risks. Based on these findings, this study proposes practical implications for designing research records retention and disposal schedules and establishing an appraisal system for domestic universities.
