WILEY RESEARCHER DATA SHARING SURVEY March 2014

Our objective was to establish a Survey baseline view of data sharing Responses By practices, attitudes, and the Numbers motivations globally , with • 90,000 researchers participation from researchers in invited to every scholarly field. participate. • 3,000 responses recorded. • 203 fields of study were recorded. 12% of respondents were from the • 85 countries chemistry community. participated. • 14 days to participate.

Most researchers are sharing their data. Key Findings Data shared is typically <10 GB. The most common type of data that is being shared is flat, tabular data (.csv, .txt, .xl) Data is usually “archived” on hard drives. Those not sharing have a variety of reasons.

Where Did • Supplemental material (67%) You Make Your • At a conference (57%) Data Publicly • Informal paths/by request (42%) Available? • Personal, institutional, or project webpage (37%) • Institutional data repository (26%) Of those surveyed, 66% have made data publicly • Discipline-specific data repository (19%) available (ever). • General purpose data repository, e.g. Dryad, figshare (6%) Within the chemistry community, 68% have • Other (5%) made data publicly available. Chemists are less likely to share via an institutional data repository (23%), discipline-specific repository (16%), or via informal request (email, direct communication), and more likely to present snapshots of data at conferences (70%) and via supplemental material (73%).

Why Researchers Do Not Share Data IP or confidentiality issues (83%) The chemistry community followed the Research might be “scooped” (70%) same general trend as the larger pool of respondents. Concerns about misinterpretation (32%) Insufficient time/resources (32%) No mandate from Funder/Institution (13%) Unsure how, where to share (8%)

DATA SHARING March 2014 to Present

Echoes of Our Findings “[Researchers] cite lack of time , money and universally agreed upon standards , as well as technical barriers , as the main reasons they hold data back. Of course, there are psychological and cultural reasons, too: a sense of ownership over such a hard-won resource and a fear of scrutiny and of being “scooped. ” Neurodata Without Borders August 2014

Echoes of Our Findings “Twenty potential barriers were identified and classified in six categories: Technical , Motivational , Economic , Political , Legal , Ethical .” BMC Public Health November 2014

Wiley Partnership With Figshare Ø To support authors who wish to openly share their data, Wiley have embarked on a partnership with Figshare to integrate data sharing within existing journal workflows and article publication. Ø The new service is being piloted with a limited number of titles and will be rolled out over the new few months along with new data citation and data sharing policies. Ø The net result will be that more data will be able to be accessed, shared and reproduced without cost as a consequence of authors publishing articles with Wiley.

• Sharing data is crucial for the advancement of science. T akeaways • Recognizing the barriers to sharing is important. • Some barriers can be more easily overcome. • Others will take the support of the scholarly community.
