countries:


Identified constraintsownership of data: tendency of privatisation of data competition (for funding) and distrust among researchers fear of exploitations and misusemissing willingness (time and effort)low motivation (lack of career rewards for data sharing)

lack of documentation of data, quality of meta data shortage of expertise and resources in data management

data produced not for wider use (intension of the research project)missing capacities (including financial) and knowledge

lack of an appropriate archive service (missing infrastructure)missing awareness of funders and lack of policy initiatives


Roots of data sharing culture: research traditions

handling of information and data controlled by state and partyno sharing of any kind of information, no free flow of informationcollaboration between researchers top-down (state and party)no international projectstechnical hindrances, level of technologysmall knowledge and experiences in data- related issuesselective access to raw data, no data archives

institutional reorganisations /no infrastructure dramatic shortcuts of funding for social science research project oriented research dominating, long-term funding raredata as goods privatisation of data, selling data to the west, generating extra incomeinvolvement in comparative projects selectivemistrust and competition among researchers

before1990

early1990s


/ Overcoming the barriers

data producing projects for wider data use granting applications including a budget to cover data managementrelationship between research and service activities

act as an agent/facilitator for data sharing promoting the benefits and the value to users and funders involvement in data gathering research projects providing expert support for researchers (meta data production, tools, access conditions and control)

researchers

data archives


// Overcoming the barriers

development and implementation of a national data sharing policy (including control mechanism)up-front role in requiring deposition of datafunding of long-term data producing research projects long-term funding for infrastructure services

require their authors to provide links to the data sets upon which their articles are based support a linking system between data and all publications that exist for the data

research funders

publishers


/// Overcoming the barriers common policy to stimulate data sharing and permanent access to research data

strategic decisions and agreements on European level

unified data preservation policies

development of an accreditation system

support of national data archives and agreements on harmonised actions

making data sets citable including citation standards

making the publication of data as valued as a paper publication

offering training facilities, tools, standards and best practice
