Initial insight into three modes of data sharing: Prevalence of primary reuse, data integration and dataset release in research articles

Y Sakai, Y Miyata, K Yokoi, Y Wang, K Kurata

Learned Publishing 36 (3), 417-425 （Learned Publishing) 36 （ 3 ） 417 - 425 2023

ISSN 09531513

　View Summary

While data sharing has received research interest in recent times, its real status remains unclear, owing to its ambiguous concept. To understand the current status of data sharing, this study examined primary reuse, data integration, and dataset release as the actual practices of data sharing. A total of 963 articles, chosen from those published in 2018 and registered in the Web of Science global citation database, were manually checked. Existing data were reused in the mode of data integration (13.3%) as frequently as they were for the mode of primary reuse (12.1%). Dataset release was the least common mode (9.0%). The results show the variation in data sharing and indicate the need for standardization of data description in articles based on thorough registration and expansion in public data archives to close the loop that results in the virtuous cycle of research data.

　View Summary

Open access (OA) is transforming scholarly communication. Various modes of OA implementation have emerged, which reflect the complexity surrounding OA development. This study aimed to examine this development from the perspective of how OA is implemented. The sample comprised 2,368 randomly selected articles published in 2013 and 2,999 published in 2018 indexed in the Web of Science. We also conducted searches in Google and Google Scholar in 2015 for articles published in 2013 and in 2020 for articles published in 2018. Selected articles were categorized as either an “OA article,” “electronic subscription journal article,” or “not available online.” OA articles were classified into 10 implementation modes: Gold, Hybrid, Delayed, Bronze, Subject Repositories, Institutional Repositories, Personal/Institutional Websites, Academic Social Networks (ASNs), Others, and Web Aggregator. Overall, 56.5% of all sampled articles in 2013 were available for free on at least one website in 2015, while 61.7% of all sampled articles in 2018 were freely available on at least one website in 2020. Concerning implementation mode, ASNs had the highest frequency (44.4% in 2015 and 56.0% in 2020), followed by Subject Repositories (35.0% in 2015 and 39.6% in 2020) and Gold (24.1% in 2015 and 37.4% in 2020). To obtain an overview of OA implementation, we conducted principal component analysis with OA implementation mode as the variable for both 2015 and 2020. The first principal component was the axis indicating the number of overlapping OA implementations for each article in 2015 and 2020, while the second principal component was the axis orthogonal to the first, which was difficult to interpret. We identified three groups of OA implementation in each plot of the principal component scores for articles in 2015 and 2020; however, the OA implementation of each group differed in 2015 and 2020. This diversity reflects the respective positions of various stakeholders regarding OA.

　View Summary

Currently, the research process has become digitalized, and there is not only an open access movement to make research results open, but also an open science movement that aims to share research data. Based on this background, this study took the following three approaches: (1) analysis of policies related to open science, (2) understanding of macro trends related to open access to articles and research data, and (3) micro analysis of the role and position of research data in individual research projects. We focused particularly on understanding macro trends and conducted a number of surveys. As a representative result, we characterized the open access situation in 2015 and 2020 from the viewpoint of OA implementation. We also analyzed three types of data sharing in journal articles from the perspective of reuse and dataset release.

　View Summary

Recently academic research has been based on digital environments. This research project was designed to find out how the “openness” and “sharing” in academic research have progressed. The ratio of open access of research articles in the entire fields has reached more half. The new style of articles in electronic journals which are feasible for digital reading gradually became popular. Although in the advanced initiative case the research data sharing have improved, researchers in many fields have complex feeling or attitude for data sharing. Because researchers cannot separate data sharing from research practices, it make more difficult to achieve data sharing widely. The issues or problem of data sharing should be examined from all angles.

　View Summary

An online questionnaire survey was conducted from November to December 2014, in cooperation with 45 institutions in Japan. As a result, 3,933 valid responses from researchers (faculty and doctoral students) across various fields were collected. Through the analyses from the multiple viewpoints, the survey results showed significant progress in researchers’ use of online resources and obvious changes in their reading-behavior, such as rapid increase in the percentage of reading articles online via PC or mobile devices.

　View Summary

The aim of this research is to clarify the characteristics of e-research, and the current status of digitization and openness of scholarly communication. Methods differ by the research plan: interview; questionnaire survey; information search and data acquisition through websites. Main results are following: the development of model about researchers practices and awareness for data; situation on digitization of academic journals; status of open access in biomedical fields; general public information needs and information-seeking behavior on health information and/or specific information.

　View Summary

This LIPER3 project over five years after the past two phases of LIPER research project has been carried out as the following three types of research, in order to give a change to the structural condition of Japanese library and information science(LIS) education system.
<br>
First, in order to review and share the educational content of LIS, we wrote the new LIS standard textbook series and published them by an academic press. Second, the LIS examination has been carried out once a year, in order that each educational institution can evaluate its own educational content and educational outcomes through the self-evaluation process. Third, in order to grasp the situation of foreign LIS education and to exchange them each other we published a translation of the American LIS standard textbook, made the research communication at international conferences, and visited and carried out interviews at the educational institutions in Europe and the United States.

科学技術への顕著な貢献 2010（ナイスステップな研究者）

KURATA KEIKO, 2010.12, 文部科学省科学技術政策研究所, 研究活動の情報基盤構築に向けて対応の遅れを警告するフロントランナー

　View Description

インターネットによる情報流通変革によって、論文誌などのメディアの電子化が急速に進展しました。最近では、研究者がデータや成果をオープンにし、その共有から新たな知見を生み出していくe-Science と呼ばれる新しい研究スタイルも進展しつつあります。倉田氏は図書館情報学の研究者として、電子化が急激に進んだ論文誌の変化や自然科学系の研究者自身による論文のオープンアクセス化の進展に注目してきました。研究者の研究活動そのものが今後はより大きく変化をしていく可能性があり、倉田氏は研究者集団に対してその変化と影響を説明すると同時に，大学図書館や論文誌出版など研究を支援する関係者に対しても、早急に根本的変革が必要になることを多くの機会を通じて説いています。このような変化への対応には、人文系の研究者と自然科学系の科学者との議論が必須で、倉田氏はこの領域における日本全体の対応の遅れを警告するフロントランナーです。
