Regarding discipline, the Humanities and Engineering had the greatest shares categorized as Readers and Record Managers. The Physical Sciences had the greatest share categorized as Record Managers, and Community Members made up the largest share of the Life Sciences category (see Table 3). The analysis also showed that life scientists exhibited a significantly higher propensity than did engineers of being Community Members rather than Readers. Furthermore, life scientists had significantly higher odds than did physical scientists of being Community Members rather than Record Managers. These findings about life scientists seem to contradict the findings by Mas-Bleda and colleagues  that, at European institutions in general, an online presence in a RIMS is lower in the life sciences than in other disciplines. Our study showed that as Community Members, life scientists were one of the most highly involved disciplinary categories.
