Improving access to and reuse of research results, publications and data for scientific purposes - Stakeholders' consultations results
<p>The data sets were created via data collection effort for the Horizon Europe-funded "study to evaluate the effects of the EU copyright framework on research and the effects of potential interventions and to identify and present relevant provisions for research in EU data and digital legislation, with a focus on rights and obligations". The study was contacted by DG RTD. </p> <p>This research project supports Action 2 objectives of the European Research Area (ERA) Policy Agenda 2022-2024, which aims to propose an EU legislative and regulatory framework for copyright and data that is fit for research. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of barriers to the access and reuse of publicly funded research, including scientific publications and data. It assesses existing EU copyright legislation and EU data and digital legislation. It also assesses regulatory frameworks and national initiatives and identifies potential areas for improvement.</p> <p>Using a methodological, evidence-based approach (including the survey results posted in this repository), the study presents possible legislative and non-legislative measures to improve the current EU copyright and data framework and align it with the needs of scientific research and open research data principles. </p> <p>The data sets include the raw data of the three surveys (survey 1 targeted at researchers, survey 2 targeted at research-performing organisations, and survey 3 targeted at publishers). All surveys have two major parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation. In addition, we provide interview notes, they are also organised into two parts: one concerning copyright legislation and another concerning data and digital legislation. </p> <p>The data collection effort was partially supported by our colleagues from the Institute for Information Law (IVIR) and KU Leuven CiTIP. </p>
Results of the poll in the study "Information Scientists' Motivations for Research Data Sharing and Reuse"
<p>This is a dataset with results of the poll conducted in the study “Information Scientists’ Motivations for Research Data Sharing and Reuse”.</p> <p>In terms of the Uses and Gratifications Theory (Questions 1 and 2), the most popular uses relate to the categories of research support and information. Researchers share, or would share, their research data in general for any reusability purposes and especially for combination of different datasets to produce new evidence. Also, the vast majority of study participants associate research data sharing with possibilities to accelerate scientific progress and to increase research efficiency. In case of research data reuse, all the researchers indicated that they use, or would use, others’ data first of all for inspiration. Interestingly, study participants put relatively high the category of recognition in case of sharing, but at the same time they do not associate increased recognition among colleagues and other researchers with research data reuse. The remaining categories belonging to the categories of self-esteem and social interaction, i.e. increased citation level and visibility of the research as well as enhanced scientific reputation, possible cooperations and co-authorship, were selected only by few respondents. Also remarkably, data reuse is more frequently linked to entertainment then data sharing. </p> <p>In terms of the Self-Determination Theory (Questions 3 and 4), all but one of the interviewees indicated that they have shared or would share their research data because it can accelerate scientific progress which they consider important and would like to contribute to it (i.e., identified regulation). The second most popular motivation turned out to be the obligation by employer, project funder and/or journals (i.e., external regulation). The third most popular option was social influence, i.e. because many other researchers participate in data sharing and they feel obligated to do the same (i.e., external regulation).This way, the participants demonstrate a mixture of identified motivation and external regulation, both material and social. In the case of data reuse, the participants demonstrate more homogeneous results with identification and intrinsic motivation having most of the votes. The role of external regulation seems to be much less important as in the case with data sharing. So, researchers reuse, or would reuse, research data because it can accelerate scientific progress which is important for them. Additionally, researchers enjoy exploring and using third party research data. Thus, interviewees participate or would participate in data sharing because they consider it important, but also feel or are obliged to do so. At the same time, study participants do not feel pressure from outside when deciding whether to reuse data or not.</p> <p>For more information about the study and its results, please read the article “Information Scientists’ Motivations for Research Data Sharing and Reuse” by Shutsko and Stock (2023).</p>

Anonymized interview transcripts from the study "Information Scientists' Motivations for Research Data Sharing and Reuse"
<p>These are eleven transcripts of the interviews conducted in the context of the study “Information Scientists’ Motivations for Research Data Sharing and Reuse”.</p> <p>Interview partners are information science researchers who work with data and shared (or not) their research data and/or reused (or not) the data from third parties. Study sample included six women and five men working either at a German university and/or a research performing organization with working experience as researchers from six to over 40 years. Nine persons have a PhD degree, two persons are the PhD candidates. One researcher belongs to the Net Generation (i.e. born approx. between 1946 and 1960), three researchers – to Generation X (i.e. born approx. 1960 and 1980), seven researchers – to Generation Y (i.e. born approx. between 1980 and 1996).</p> <p>Data collection took place between October, 13 and November, 24 2022. The interviews were conducted in German, online and video-recorded. The shortest conversation took 43 minutes and the longest – 63 minutes. With participants’ consent, all interviews were transcribed using f4x Automatic Speech Recognition. The automatically created transcripts were then manually checked and corrected if needed.</p> <p>The interview transcripts are anonymized by replacing original words or phrases with more generic words or phrases. The replaced texts are marked in blue and taken in brackets. The access to the anonymized transcripts will be granted on request with concrete agreement on use.</p> <p>The <a href="https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8230979">interview guide template</a> used for conducting the interviews is available.
