[Rdap] [RDAP] How much data should researchers *actually* publicly deposit?

[Daureen Nesdill]

I’ve been thinking about that also.
NSF wants all data available as soon as possible after the closeout of the grant*, BUT publishers want the data related to the published article available when the manuscript is submitted to them. Any research project will have miscellaneous data. Some of this data is from preliminary study leading to the next grant. Some is negative data. Some is just not worth publishing a paper on or depositing in a repository. NSF does not address this.

*Unless the researcher can justify not sharing the data.

Hi RDAP,

When a project is funded by a federal grant, how much raw data are researchers expected to make accessible? Must they truly make everything and anything publicly available, or are brief extracts and/or summary statistics acceptable (in other words, what is the minimum sharing requirement)? What practices have you noticed among your colleagues/constituents?

I am specifically looking at NSF grants, for which guidelines are (intentionally?) vague. I am working with a faculty member who is hesitant to share all of their data, as they want to maintain a competitive edge.

Thanks for your input,
Kate
