Data sharing is good … for lots of reasons

‘Data sharing by scientists: Practices and Perceptions’(Tenopir et al., 2011, PLoS one: 6(6) http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0021101)

85% of researchers were interested in using others’ data if easily accessible;

74% believed that their data could be used in other ways (across other research fields);

But…Only 36% report that their own data is easily accessible.

So why aren’t we doing it more?

The citation benefit intensified over time... ...with publications from 2004 and 2005 cited 30 per cent

more often if their data was freely available. Every 100 papers with open data prompted 150 "data reuse

papers" within five years Original authors tended to use their data for only two years,

but others re-used it for up to six years.
