Dear all,



The results of a survey of a researchers’ needs and priorities for data
sharing, conducted by PLOS in May-June 2020, were released this week as a
preprint, along with the supporting data.



Preprint: https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/njr5u

Data and survey instrument: https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.13858763.v1

Summary on the PLOS blog:
https://theplosblog.plos.org/2021/02/how-can-we-increase-adoption-of-open-research-practices/



The results have not been peer-reviewed but will be submitted to a journal
soon. Thanks to members of this community who shared the survey amongst
their networks last year. We received 728 completed responses and 667
partial responses, predominantly researchers in biological and medical
research disciplines, many of whom had previously published in PLOS
journals. The paper discusses the implications for what PLOS, and
potentially other publishers, can do to better support data sharing by
researchers.



Please let me know if you have any questions.



Kind regards,



Iain
