Open data: The researcher perspective
2022年7月5日

The Open Data report is a result of a year-long, co-conducted study between Elsevier and the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS), part of Leiden University, the Netherlands. The study is based on a complementary methods approach consisting of a quantitative analysis of bibliometric and publication data, a global survey of 1,200 researchers and three case studies, including in-depth interviews with key individuals involved in data collection, analysis and deposition in the fields of soil science, human genetics and digital humanities.

开放数据:科研人员视角

73% of academics surveyed said that having access to published research data would benefit their own research
64% are willing to allow others to access their research data
69% of survey respondents said sharing research data is important for doing research in their field
34% of researchers surveyed do not publish their data at all; one third of survey respondents did not share data from their last project
There is an almost even split between researchers who believe there are no clear standards for citing published data (45%) and those who believe there are clear standards (41%)
52% of respondents said that their institution does not provide funds to cover the costs of managing or archiving research data
Analysis of data publishing options revealed that dedicated data journals are minimally available – but fast-growing
Survey open data
The underlying data for the three parallel, independent studies are open and publicly available for all from Mendeley Data, which includes:
Quantitative analysis of bibliometric data
Global researcher survey
Case studies in fields of soil science, human genetics, and digital humanities
"本报告中的研究结果有助于我们以及科研领导者、大学和政府政策制定者更好地了解科研人员在数据共享实践中的感受和现实中的难点所在。这对于我们而言是非常宝贵的见解,可确保科研人员获得成功共享数据所需的工具和知识。”

“科学体系正经历重大转型:从以科研人员为主导的专业体系转向由多个利益相关者组成的开放式创新体系。荷兰国家开放科学计划的目标之一是以标准化的方式提供可重复使用的科研数据。本文介绍的研究表明,实现这一目标还有很长的路要走,因此呼吁加强激励和奖励来促进开放数据实践。为对社会负责,现在是我们解决无障碍访问这一基本问题的时候了。CWTS 将继续提出这些问题。"

About CWTS
The ambition of the Centre for Science and Technology Studies (CWTS)opens in new tab/window is to be a globally leading centre in science and technology studies, with an emphasis on research evaluation, research management, and science policy. CWTS aims to be unique not only in its diversity of theoretical approaches (e.g., citation and communication theories, neo-institutional theory, actor network theory) and methodological approaches (e.g., scientometrics, computer simulation, surveys, interviews, ethnography), but especially in the way these different approaches are combined and integrated.
