  We report the outcomes of a survey that explores the current practices, needs
and expectations of the astrophysics community, concerning four research
aspects: open science practices, data access and management, data
visualization, and data analysis. The survey, involving 329 professionals from
several research institutions, pinpoints significant gaps in matters such as
results reproducibility, availability of visual analytics tools and adoption of
Machine Learning techniques for data analysis. This research is conducted in
the context of the H2020 NEANIAS project.
