Data Sharing Practices in the MRC Circadian Mental Health Network.

<p>This dataset supports the research conducted within the MRC Circadian Mental Health Network which assesses data sharing practices among Principal Investigators' publications in 2023. This work aims to identify trends, challenges, and inform future recommendations and policies based on the findings. The dataset includes various files that detail the methodology, data collected, and analyses performed.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Repository Contents:</strong></p> <ol> <li> <p><strong>Methods and Analysis Report - Data Sharing Practices in the MRC CMHN.pdf</strong></p> <ul> <li>This report provides the methodologies used for selecting and assessing research papers within the network, along with detailed results, tables, and discussions from the evaluation.</li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>CMHN_All_Data.xlsx</strong></p> <ul> <li>An Excel workbook containing: <ul> <li><strong>Sheet 1</strong>: All data and variables collected and analysed for this project.</li> <li><strong>Sheet 2</strong>: A README file that explains each variable and its values.<br><br></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>CMHN DataType Scoring.xlsx</strong></p> <ul> <li>An Excel workbook detailing: <ul> <li><strong>Sheet 1</strong>: All datatypes, both code and datasets, evaluated in this study.</li> <li><strong>Sheet 2</strong>: A README explaining the variables evaluated and their specific values.<br><br></li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>CMHN Data Extraction Survey.pdf</strong></p> <ul> <li>A copy of the Microsoft Form used to systematically evaluate data-sharing practices from selected publications, describing the structured data extraction process used.<br><br></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>CMHN DataType Scoring Survey.pdf</strong></p> <ul> <li>A Microsoft Form used to assess the types of data (code and datasets) shared.<br><br></li> </ul> </li> <li> <p><strong>Data_CSV_Code.csv</strong></p> <ul> <li>This file is the original, uncleaned dataset directly extracted from the initial response data of the Microsoft Form used in the project.
