“…Costello [34] encapsulates this issue: "If I release data, then I may be scooped by somebody else producing papers from them." Many other authors in our sample examine the issue of competitive misuse [5,22,23,46,48,[102][103][104]. Another issue regarding the recipient's use of data concerns a possible flawed interpretation (e.g., [21,59,89,105,106]).…”

What Drives Academic Data Sharing?

Despite widespread support from policy makers, funding agencies, and scientific journals, academic researchers rarely make their research data available to others. At the same time, data sharing in research is attributed a vast potential for scientific progress. It allows the reproducibility of study results and the reuse of old data for new research questions. Based on a systematic review of 98 scholarly papers and an empirical survey among 603 secondary data users, we develop a conceptual framework that explains the process of data sharing from the primary researcher's point of view. We show that this process can be divided into six descriptive categories: Data donor, research organization, research community, norms, data infrastructure, and data recipients. Drawing from our findings, we discuss theoretical implications regarding knowledge creation and dissemination as well as research policy measures to foster academic collaboration. We conclude that research data cannot be regarded as knowledge commons, but research policies that better incentivise data sharing are needed to improve the quality of research results and foster scientific progress.

“…Spanos et al (2015) also used surveys to investigate the impact of R&D partnerships funded by governments on the innovation of products and processes, as well as on the inimitability of technologies; they concluded that companies that cooperate show a better performance. Masum et al (2013) suggest ten rules that should be applied for the effective execution of collaborative R&D and open innovation, suggesting that such efforts can help minimize the two main problems of technological development: the complexity and high costs of applying scientific developments to produce changes and social advances. According to the literature review, globalization is one of the big reasons collaborations have become more important and attractive, especially since the culture of foreign direct investment intensified, as of the 1990s (Su, 2017).…”

Purpose -The establishment of partnerships between companies, government and universities aims to enhance innovation and the technological development of institutions. The biotechnology sector has grown in recent years mainly driven by its cooperative business model. Compared to other countries, this sector is slowly advancing in Brazil, with delays in science, technology and innovation, especially in the private sector. This paper aims to examine, through social network analysis, the collaborative networks between institutions that filed patents in biotechnologymedicinal preparations from plantswhose inventions had Brazil as the priority country.Design/methodology/approach -The study of technological cooperation using patent documents is a reliable approach as they serve as good indicators of the interactions between organizations that focus on innovation and development of new product. Social network analysis of cooperation networks helps to understand the connections between patent assignees, and how they establish relationships.Findings -Results show that public universities are the institutions that most deposit patents, as well as those that co-operate the most, especially Universidade of Campinas. The study also reveals the critical role of Research Support Agencies in stimulating research and technological development, which result in new technologies.Originality/value -The study applied the social network analysis to provide an overview of the interactions among Brazilian institutions with the purpose of helping in decision-making and inciting public policies to leverage the biotechnology sector.

“…For example, they allow users to interact with their algorithm by inputting data and receiving results on a web platform, while the backend algorithm often remains inaccessible. Masum et al advocate the reuse of existing code in their Ten Simple Rules for cultivating open science [13]. However, this is often easier said than done.…”

“…Using multiple platforms allows individuals from diverse backgrounds to have access to your research product. General phrases like “open data” and “open science” are phrases used commonly in the research community but provide little direction [13]. Research products take many different forms, including 1) raw source data regardless of collection type (e.g., health data, genomic data, survey data, and epidemiological data), 2) software code (mentioned in rule 1), and 3) metadata elements and results of computations used to generate figures published in scientific research.…”
