Recently, many academic fields are developing metadata to manage data produced in the field. Metadata to support a specific academic field beyond the general field is considered essential for searching, managing, sharing, and reusing research data in the field. Therefore, in this study, metadata items were derived to manage research data produced in forestry engineering. In order to derive metadata items, mapping work was performed on 7 metadata such as FGDC-CSDGM, ISO 19115, NEFIS, INSPIRE, ANZLIC, DataCite 4.3, and TTA.KO-10.0976. As a result of this study, 6 mandatory, 13 recommendations and 9 optional elements were derived. The derived metadata can be used as an item to systematically manage research data in the field of forestry engineering.
