Data Authorship as an Incentive to Data Sharing โ€” NEJM

lkfitz's bookmarks 2017-03-31

Summary:

"This proposal highlights the need to link the extensive efforts to date to define, standardize, and implement citation formats and principles with systems for credit and attribution that have not been modified as data sharing has become more prevalent. We appreciate that the promulgation and acceptance of citations for data generation will take time, including time for the National Library of Medicine to index the designation, time for investigators to use data sets in secondary analytics and to cite those data sets using the DOIs, and time for data citations to develop. But these metrics are possible only after the principles are framed, endorsed, broadly adopted, and consistently applied. We think that it is time for the international research and academic communities, industry, funders, and journals to take the next steps to answer these questions and ensure that credit for data sharing is keeping pace with calls to increase access to data. Further development of the concept of and criteria for recognition of the contributions of data generators is timely and will propel data sharing for the advancement of science and public health."
