Measuring the Adoption of Open Science

The document discusses various studies that have measured the adoption of open science practices like data sharing. Some key findings include: - While some scientists voluntarily share their research data, many do not, and data withholding correlates with factors like industry links, competitiveness of field, and being discouraged from sharing in training. - The majority of scientists report positive experiences from data sharing like collaboration and new research, but obstacles include desires for continued control, publishing, and avoiding costs. - Perceived incentives for sharing include benefits to others, recognition, and requirements for funding/publication. Journal data sharing policies can be effective if enforceable. - Once shared, accessibility of data decays over time, highlighting issues of long
