Some answers to the most common misconceptions about sharing research data | Impact of Social Sciences

Use the link to access the FAQ introduced as follows: "If you are a fan of data sharing, open data, open science, and generally openness in research, you’ve heard them all: excuses for keeping data out of the public domain. If you are NOT a fan of openness, you should be. For both groups (the fans and the haters), I’ve decided to construct a 'Frankenstein monster' blog post composed of other peoples’ suggestions for how to deal with the excuses. I have drawn some comebacks from Christopher Gutteridge, University of Southampton, and Alexander Dutton, University of Oxford. They created an open google doc of excuses for closing off data and appropriate responses, and generously provided access to the document under a CC-BY license. I also reference the UK Data Archive‘s list of barriers and solutions to data sharing, available via the Digital Curation Centre‘s PDF, 'Research Data Management for Librarians'."
