论文摘要
随着研究数据的重要性在科学中逐渐增长,近年来,日记和资助者也鼓励甚至强制进行数据共享。遵循这一趋势,学术界越来越多地接受了数据可用性声明,作为研究文章的一部分共享研究数据的一种手段。本文介绍了一项定量研究,介绍了哪些机制和存储库用于在PLOS One文章中共享研究数据。我们从纪律上的所有陈述中,从2014年至2020年在杂志上发表的英语研究文章中的所有陈述中对该主题进行了动态检查。我们发现使用数据存储库会随着时间的推移共享数据的缓慢而稳定的增长,而不是在论文或补充材料中共享数据;这表明改善了该期刊的数据共享政策的遵守情况。我们还发现,随着时间的流逝,多学科数据存储库越来越多地使用,而某些学科存储库显示出趋势下降。我们的发现可以帮助学术出版商和资助者改善其数据共享政策,并作为对数据共享活动的未来研究的重要基准数据集。
As the importance of research data gradually grows in sciences, data sharing has come to be encouraged and even mandated by journals and funders in recent years. Following this trend, the data availability statement has been increasingly embraced by academic communities as a means of sharing research data as part of research articles. This paper presents a quantitative study of which mechanisms and repositories are used to share research data in PLOS ONE articles. We offer a dynamic examination of this topic from the disciplinary and temporal perspectives based on all statements in English-language research articles published between 2014 and 2020 in the journal. We find a slow yet steady growth in the use of data repositories to share data over time, as opposed to sharing data in the paper or supplementary materials; this indicates improved compliance with the journal's data sharing policies. We also find that multidisciplinary data repositories have been increasingly used over time, whereas some disciplinary repositories show a decreasing trend. Our findings can help academic publishers and funders to improve their data sharing policies and serve as an important baseline dataset for future studies on data sharing activities.
