Who cares if the data is lost?

Data “available upon request”

Wicherts and colleagues requested data from from 141 articles in American Psychological Association journals.

“6 months later, after … 400 emails, [sending] detailed descriptions of our study aims, approvals of our ethical committee, signed assurances not to share data with others, and even our full resumes…” only 27% of authors complied

US funding agencies that require or strongly recommend data sharing:

Joint data archiving policy

Data are important products of the scientific enterprise, and they should be preserved and usable for decades in the future.

As a condition for publication, data supporting the results in the article should be deposited in an appropriate public archive.

Authors may elect to embargo access to the data for a period up to a year after publication.

Exceptions may be granted at the discretion of the editor, especially for sensitive information.http://datadryad.org/pages/jdap

Data archiving landscape

There are so many data repositories that we need directories of them:

Dryad vs supplementary materials

Dryad SOM

Discoverable: indexed and exposed to both web and bibliographic search engines

✔ ✗

Identifiable: DataCite DOIs within articles serve as permanent, resolvable identifiers

✔ ✗*

Permanent: processes in place to promote preservation (incl. format migration) ✔ ✔/✗**

Curated: quality control by both automated processes and human inspection ✔ ✗*

Ease of deposit: streamlined deposit, allowance for large and complex datasets ✔ ✔/✗**

Formatted for reuse: do not convert reusable formats to PDF ✔ ✔/✗**

Updatable: new versions of data files can be added, metadata can be enhanced ✔ ✗

Support for embargoes: can delay release of data in accordance with journal policy

✔ ✗

Free reuse: no paywall, clear terms of reuse (all data released under CC Zero) ✔ ✔/✗**

Support for large files: allow data files up to 10GB ✔ ✗

Economy of scale: cost efficiency from shared infrastructure ✔ ✔/✗**

Alignment to organizational mission: focus on archiving and reuse of scientific data

✔ ✗

* A few publisher SOM sites are exceptions to the general rule** Practices differ among publishers, see Smit (2011), doi:10.1045/january2011-smit

Data citations

Best practice is to cite both the article and the data – they are both useful research products

But limit data citations to one data package per article – this eliminates most concerns about the size/granularity of data files

Dryad uptake

>4,000 data packages containing >12,000 files associated with articles in 275 journals

200 submissions each month and growing

Some data packages have been downloaded more than 10,000 times

Fewer than 10% of authors chose to embargo their data when this option is allowed by the journal

Added value for journals, including a data display widget and a dashboard for editors

Integrated article & data submission

Key functionalityo Makes data deposition simple for

authors (once files are prepared)o Ensures permanent link to data

within each article (and vice versa).

Options are customized to meet journal policies

o Data can be submitted prior to manuscript review or upon acceptance

o Journals may allow authors the option of a embargoing data for 1 year after publication
