Data Sharing and the Future of Science Who Benefits from Sharing Data? the Scientists of Future Do, As Data Sharing Today Enables New Science Tomorrow EDITORIAL OPEN Data sharing and the future of science Who benefits from sharing data? The scientists of future do, as data sharing today enables new science tomorrow. Far from being mere rehashes of old datasets, evidence shows that studies based on analyses of previously published data can achieve just as much impact as original projects. ata sharing has a long history makes new types of research possible. in many areas of research.

    Article Science, Technology, & Human Values 1-18 ª The Author(s) 2018 Data Management Article reuse guidelines: sagepub.com/journals-permissions DOI: 10.1177/0162243918798906 and Data Sharing journals.sagepub.com/home/sth in Science and Technology Studies Katie Jane Maienschein1, John N. Parker2, Manfred Laubichler1 and Edward J. Hackett3 Abstract This paper presents reports on discussions among an international group of science and technology studies (STS) scholars who convened at the US National Science Foundation (January 2015) to think about data sharing and open STS. The first report, which reflects discussions among members of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), relates the potential benefits of data sharing and open science for STS. The second report, which reflects dis- cussions among scholars from many professional STS societies (i.e., European Association for the Study of Science and Technology [EASST], 4S, Society for the History of Technology [SHOT], History of Science Society [HSS], and Philosophy of Science Association [PSA]), focuses on practical and conceptual issues related to managing, storing, and curating STS data. As is the case for all reports of such open discussions, a scholar’s presence at the meeting does not necessarily mean that they agree with all aspects of the text to follow. 1Center for Biology and Society, School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA 2Barrett, The Honors College, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA 3Heller School for Social Policy and Management, Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, USA Corresponding Author: John N.

  • Sharing Is Caring—Data Sharing Initiatives in Healthcare
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Review Sharing Is Caring—Data Sharing Initiatives in Healthcare Tim Hulsen Department of Professional Health Solutions & Services, Philips Research, 5656AE Eindhoven, The Netherlands; [email protected] Received: 28 February 2020; Accepted: 24 April 2020; Published: 27 April 2020 Abstract: In recent years, more and more health data are being generated. These data come not only from professional health systems, but also from wearable devices. All these ‘big data’ put together can be utilized to optimize treatments for each unique patient (‘precision medicine’). For this to be possible, it is necessary that hospitals, academia and industry work together to bridge the ‘valley of death’ of translational medicine. However, hospitals and academia often are reluctant to share their data with other parties, even though the patient is actually the owner of his/her own health data. Academic hospitals usually invest a lot of time in setting up clinical trials and collecting data, and want to be the first ones to publish papers on this data. There are some publicly available datasets, but these are usually only shared after study (and publication) completion, which means a severe delay of months or even years before others can analyse the data. One solution is to incentivize the hospitals to share their data with (other) academic institutes and the industry. Here, we show an analysis of the current literature around data sharing, and we discuss five aspects of data sharing in the medical domain: publisher requirements, data ownership, growing support for data sharing, data sharing initiatives and how the use of federated data might be a solution.

Allison, Indiana University Bloomington, Bloomington, IN, and accepted by Editorial Board Member Susan T. Fiske September 10, 2017 (received for review June 20, 2017) We find standards useful in everyday life and in science, although In research, standards facilitate cooperation and better overall we do not always follow them. Adopting new standards can be results—namely, good science. Across disciplines, scientists tacitly expensive, so there may be a strong incentive to maintain the status and formally agree to common standards for both the conduct and quo rather than adopt new standards. The scientific community has reporting of our work, ranging from units of measurement to many standards encompassing both doing clinical research and principles about research integrity (3). Standards may have im- reporting it, including standards for design and measurement. Al- portant benefits without incurring substantial costs or limiting though existing research standards have improved both research scientific creativity. For example, the American Heart Association and its reporting, we need to unify existing standards and to fill developed standards for measuring blood pressure (4); their use the gaps between steps throughout the research process. Existing may improve the consistency of data collection across times and gaps include implementation of standards and links between stan- places, thus improving the comparability of clinical trials. Failing dards for study registration (to know about all studies undertaken), to apply minimum standards can lead to calamitous errors.

  • A Mixed-Methods Investigation Into Barriers for Sharing Geospatial and Resilience Flood Data in the UK
    water Article A Mixed-Methods Investigation into Barriers for Sharing Geospatial and Resilience Flood Data in the UK Luke Waterman 1,Mónica Rivas Casado 1,* , Emma Bergin 2 and Gary McInally 2 1 School of Water, Energy and Environment, Cranfield University, College Road, Cranfield, Bedfordshire MK43 0AL, UK; Luke.J.Waterman@cranfield.ac.uk 2 Flood Re, 75 King William Street, London EC4N 7BE, UK; emma.bergin@floodre.co.uk (E.B.); gary.mcinally@floodre.co.uk (G.M.) * Correspondence: m.rivas-casado@cranfield.ac.uk Abstract: With increases in average temperature and rainfall predicted, more households are expected to be at risk of flooding in the UK by 2050. Data and technologies are increasingly playing a critical role across public-, private- and third-sector organisations. However, barriers and constraints exist across organisations and industries that limit the sharing of data. We examine the international context for data sharing and variations between data-rich and data-sparse countries. We find that local politics and organisational structures influence data sharing. We focus on the case study of the UK, and on geospatial and flood resilience data in particular. We use a series of semi-structured interviews to evaluate data sharing limitations, with particular reference to geospatial and flood resilience data. We identify barriers and constraints when sharing data between organisations. We find technological, security, privacy, cultural and commercial barriers across different use cases and data points. Finally, we provide three long-term recommendations to improve the overall accessibility to flood data and enhance outcomes for organisations and communities.

  • CODATA Task Group on Data Citation Standards
    1 CODATA Task Group on data citation standards and best practices: Research and analysis results As part of the activities of the CODATA Data Citation Standards and Practices Task Group, since its inception in 2010, we conducted an inventory of existing literature on data citation best practices and attribution activities. This document is the result of the collection of bibliographic sources, subsequent research, and corresponding analysis. Prior versions of this bibliography have been published on the Task Group’s website. [http://www.codata.org/taskgroups/TGdatacitation/Bilbliography_Links.html]. This version integrates all additional references gathered after the publication of the Summary Report of our August 2011 Workshop (sponsored jointly with the Board on Research Data and Information of the National Academy of Sciences), National Research Council. For Attribution -- Developing Data Attribution and Citation Practices and Standards: Summary of an International Workshop. Washington, DC: The National Academies Press, 2012. The corpus of this bibliography was created by Task Group members and consultants who performed online database searches and captured information sources that are directly or peripherally focused on data citation practices and attribution. These contributions were then shared via email or via Zotero, a reference management software tool. Many new entries were contributed over time by authors and reviewers of the Task Group’s reports, interviewees from various stakeholder communities, and other interested persons. As of this version, we have found 441 resources and organized them into 16 different formats that cover the many facets of citation, such as policies, infrastructure, research practices, and best practices development. We concentrated our efforts on sources that were published during the past five years, with the occasional older, seminal item included because of additional context and background.

  • A Content Analysis on the Rhetorical Moves Used in Data Paper Abstracts K
    The data paper as a socio-linguistic epistemic object: A content analysis on the rhetorical moves used in data paper abstracts Kai Li School of Information Resource Management, Renmin University of China, Beijing, China 59 Zhongguancun St, Haidian District, Beijing, China, 100872 +86 13161285125; [email protected] Chenyue Jiao School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Illinois, USA 501 E. Daniel St, Champaign, IL, USA, 61820 1-217-305-2995; [email protected] Abstract The data paper is an emerging academic genre that focuses on the description of research data objects. However, there is a lack of empirical knowledge about this rising genre in quantitative science studies, particularly from the perspective of its linguistic features. To fill this gap, this research aims to offer a first quantitative examination of which rhetorical moves—rhetorical units performing a coherent narrative function—are used in data paper abstracts, as well as how these moves are used. To this end, we developed a new classification scheme for rhetorical moves in data paper abstracts by expanding a well-received system that focuses on English- language research article abstracts. We used this expanded scheme to classify and analyze rhetorical moves used in two flagship data journals, Scientific Data and Data in Brief. We found that data papers exhibit a combination of IMRaD- and data-oriented moves and that the usage differences between the journals can be largely explained by journal policies concerning abstract and paper structure. This research offers a novel examination of how the data paper, a novel data-oriented knowledge representation, is composed, which greatly contributes to a deeper understanding of data and data publication in the scholarly communication system.
