Data sharing: an open mind on open data
[A] it is a movement building steady momentum: a call to make research data, software
code and experimental metbods publicly availablc and transparent A spirit of
openness is gaining acceptance in the science community, and is the only way, say
advocates, to address a'crisis in science whereby too few findings are successfully
reproduced. furthermore, they say, it is the best way for researchers to gather the
range of observations that are necessary to speed up discoveries or to identify
large-scale trends
[b] the open-data shift poses a confusing problem for junior researchers,on the one
hand, the drive to share is gathering official steam. since 2013, global scientific
bodies have begun to that support increased public access to research on the other
hand, scientists disagree about how much and when they should share data, and they
debate whether sharing it is more likely to accelerate science and make it more robust,
or to introduce vulnerabilities and
problems. as more joumals and funders adopt data-sharing requirements, and as a
growing number of enthusiasts call for more researchers must find
their place between adopters and those who continue to hold out, even as they strive
to launch their own careers.
( c) one key challenge facing young scientists is how to be open without becoming
scientifically vulnerable. they must determine the risk of jeopardizing a job offer
or a collaboration proposal from those who are wary of -or unfamiliar with -open
science. and they must learn how to capitalize on the movements benefits, such as
opportunities for more citations and a way to build a reputation without the need
for conventional metrics, such as publication in high- impact journals.
[D] some fields have embraced open data more than others. researchers in psychology,
a field rocked by findings of irreproducibility in the past few years, have been
especially vocal supporters of the drive for more-open science. a few psychology
journals have created incentives to increase interest in reproducible science-for
example, by affixing an
available. according to social psychologist brian nosek,
executive director of the center for open science, the average data-sharing rate
for the joumal Psychological science, which uses the badges, increased tenfold to
38% from 2013 to 2015.
[E] funders, too, are increasingly adopting an open-data policy several strongly
encourage,and some require a data- management plan that makes data available. the
ional scienc Foundation is among these. some philanthropic(&)funders, including the
bill &melinda Gates foundation in seattle, washington, and the wellcome trust in
london, also mandate open data from their grant recipients.
[F] but many young rescarchers,especially those who have not been mentored in open
science are uncertain about whether to share or to stay private. graduate students
and who often are working on their lab heads grant, may have no choice if their
supervisor or another senior colleague opposes sharing.
[G] some fear that the potential impact of sharing is too high, especially at the
early stages of a career has a story about soneone getting scooped
New York university astronomer david hogg. those fears may be a factor in a lingering
hesitation to share data even when publishing in journals that mandate it.
[H] researchers at small labs or at institutions focused on teaching arguably have
the most to sharing hard-won data. my institution and teaching load,
i don't have postdocs and grad students, terry mcglynn, a tropical biologist
at california state university,Dominguez hills.
share data because it's a bigger fraction of what's happening in my lab.
[I] researchers also point to the time sink that is involved in preparing data for
others to view Once the data and associated materials appear in a repository( 存
储库), answering questions and handling complaints can take many hour.
[J] the time investment can present other problems. in some cases, says data
scientist karthik Ram, it may be difficult for junior researchers to embrace openness
when senior colleagues many of whom head selection and promotion committees-might
ridicule what they may view as misplaced energies i have heard this recently that
embracing the idea of open data and code makes traditional academics uncomfortable,
ram. concem seems to be that open advocates don't spend their time being
as productive as possible
[K]an open-science stance can also add complexity to a collaboration. kate ratliff,
who studies social attitudes at the university of florida, gainesville, says that
it can seem as if there are two camps in a field-those who care about open science
and those who don't
that i'll want to make the data open?'-when talking with somebody about an
interesting research idea, she says.
[L] despite complications and concerns, the upsides of sharing can be significant.
for example, when information is uploaded to a repository, a digital object
identifier(DOI) is assigned.
Scientists can use a doi to publish each step of the research life cycle, not just
the final paper In so doing, they can potentially get three citations- one each for
tthe data and software,in
addition to the paper itself. and although some say that citations for software or
data hace little currency in academia, they can have other benefits
[M]many advocates think that transparent data procedures with a date and time stamp
will protect ientists from being scooped.
and getting credit for it.
while discouraging plagiarism says lvo Grigorov a project cooedinator at the
national institute of aquatic resources research secretariat in charlottenlund,
denmark. that scooping is less of a problem than many think. two cases
i'm familiar with didn't involve open data or code,
[N] open science also offers junor researchers the chance to level the playing field
by gaining better access to crucial data .rose mounce a postdoc studing ecolutionary
biology at the University of cambridge, uk, is a vocal champion of open science,
partly because his fossilbased research depends on access to others' data. he says
that more openness in science could help to discourage what some perceive as a
common practice of shutting out early-career scientists requests for data.
[[O]communication also helps for those who worry about jeopardizing a collaboration,
he says Concems about open science should be discussed at the outset of a study.

understanding of expectations for who owns the data, at what point they go public
and who can do what with them,
[P] in the end, sharing data, software and materials with colleagues can help an
early-career researcher to gain recognition-a crucial component of success. the
thing you are searching for is reputation,基因组
学) researcher at the university of California, grants and jobs, you
have to be relevant and achieve some level of public recognition. anything you do
that advances your presence - especially in a larger sphere, outside the communities
you know-is a net win.
36. astronomer david hogg doesn't think scooping is as serious a problem as generally
thought.
37. some researchers are hesitant to make their data public for fear that others
might publish nething similar before them.
psychology journals have offered incentives to encourage authors to share
their data
39. there is a growing demand in the science community that research data be open
to the public
40. sharing data offers carly career researchers the chance to build a certain level
of reputation.
sharing enables scientists to publish each step of their research work, thus
leading to more citations.
42. scientists hold different opinions about the extent and timing of data sharing
43. potential problems related to data sharing should be made known to and discussed
by all participants at the beginning of a joint research project
44. sharing data and handling data-related issues can be time-consuming
45. junior researchers may have no say when it comes to sharing data
