6.1 Researchers’ perceptions

Open Data Survey (Goodey et al., 2022)

• 75% of researchers say there is too little credit for sharing data
• main drivers:
  • perceived higher citation (67%)
  • increased perceived impact and visibility (61%)

6.2 Classical metrics

• Data for reuse: Additional publication (e.g., data note in F1000 Research)
• Is there higher citation?
  • studies with available data: 9% more citations (Piwowar & Vision, 2013)
  • studies with link to data in a repository: 25% higher citation rates (Colavizza et al., 2020)

But:
Selection bias: Willingness to share strength of evidence and quality of reporting (Wicherts et al., 2011)

But:
With higher transparency, researchers have higher trust in authors (Schneider et al., 2022)

6.3 New metrics: Get hired!

new metrics for evaluation evolving

• CoARA: “Value outputs associated with openness (FAIR data sets, […]” (CoARA, 2022, p. 21)
  • signatories: DGPs, ERC, European Commission, DFG, Leibniz Association, …
• Example: DGPs recommendations on hiring and promotion (Gärtner et al., 2022; Schönbrodt et al., 2022)

(Schönbrodt et al., 2022, p. 4)
