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.

資料開放:研究員的觀點

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34% of researchers surveyed do not publish their data at all; one third of survey respondents did not share data from their last project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
「本報告呈現的研究結果有助於我們——以及研究領導者、大學和政府決策者——更深入了解研究員之間資料分享實踐的情緒和現實層面的痛點所在。這些對我們都是寶貴的見解,確保研究員能夠獲得所需的工具和知識,成功分享資料。」

「科學體系正在經歷重大轉型:從以研究員為主導的專業體系轉型到多方利益相關者參與的開放式創新體系。荷蘭國家開放科學計畫的目標之一就是以標準化的方式提供可重複使用的研究資料。本研究顯示,這個目標還很遙遠。它呼籲應為實施資料開放實踐提供更有效的刺激和獎勵。 現在是時候解決無障礙取閱的基本問題,以便對社會負責。CWTS 將繼續提出這些問題。」

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.
