Description: 
The dataset consists of responses to close-ended questions from a national survey on digital needs and practices among researchers in the humanities and related fields, as well as cultural heritage professionals in Sweden. The close-ended questions include both yes/no questions and multiple-choice questions. The data were collected between May and September 2025 through an online survey using Microsoft Forms. The questionnaire is included as part of the dataset.

A total of 208 responses were collected, of which 204 respondents consented to share their answers to the close-ended questions as part of an open access dataset. Responses from the four individuals who did not provide consent have been removed. Answers to open-ended questions are not included in the dataset.

The survey was conducted as part of the work of Huminfra and DARIAH-SE.
