“…would prevent him or her from sharing data. Besides the actual sharing effort [21,23,29,33,[36][37][38][39][40][41], scholars utter concerns regarding the effort required to help others to make sense of the data [42]. The knowledge factor becomes apparent in Sieber's study [43] in which most researchers stated that data sharing is advantageous for science, but that they had not thought about it until they were asked for their opinion.…”

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.

“…Arguments and debates have been going around, claiming that publicly funded research data are public goods, hence should be disclosed to all. Besides increasing the visibility and relevance of research output, data sharing accelerates scientific progress, reduces research costs and decreases the time for results [15]. Information sharing facilitates the advancement of science and knowledge.…”

Researchers, journals, and universities want to receive more citations for their scholarly publications. However, a paper citations depend on its quality, visibility and author's online profile. Research support documents (unpublished papers, white papers, project reports, datasets, software, posters, online resources and teaching materials) can be additional source for increasing the author's visibility. To enhance research visibility and impact, the full range of scholarly output should be available online on the open access platform. With open access platform, key research findings are made accessible immediately to the scientific community. Therefore, the publicly available research support documents may result in receiving more citations in addition to the published papers. In this paper we conducted a simplified three stages study on the benefits of research support documents publications on open access platform. We also elaborated on approaches of improving your research visibility and impact through these document.

“…Se lo percibe como una parte significativa del actual proceso de producción científica, un factor importante para el progreso de la investigación; llegándose a señalar como una prioridad y un pilar del sistema de investigación. Desde esta perspectiva, se considera que los datos tienen valor más allá del proyecto y el uso previsto para el cual fueron tomados (Azberger et al 2004;Uhlir y Schröeder 2007;Pinowar et al 2008;Nelson 2009;Smith 2009;Contreras 2010;Boulton et al 2012;Milia et al 2012;Torres-Salinas et al 2012;Destro Bisol et al 2014b, 2014c. Como señalan Faniel y Zimmerman (2011), el objetivo es hacer la información accesible y utilizable a cualquier persona, en cualquier momento, en cualquier lugar, y para cualquier propósito.…”

“…4) Las publicaciones que tienen en cuenta las prácticas del data sharing obtienen un mayor índice de citación (Eysenbach 2006;Piwowar 2011). El impacto de las citaciones puede ser considerado en futuras decisiones, debido a que este es uno de los parámetros que aumentan la reputación de las instituciones académicas (Pinowar et al 2008). 5) El paso del tiempo y un uso frecuente de los materiales de estudio puede provocar daños en estos, aun de manera inintencionada.…”
