This chapter argues that the benefits of data sharing will accrue more quickly, and will be more significant and more enduring, if researchers make their data “meaningfully accessible.” Data are meaningfully accessible when they can be interpreted and analyzed by scholars far beyond those who generated them. Making data meaningfully accessible requires that scholars take the appropriate steps to prepare their data for sharing, and avail themselves of the increasingly sophisticated infrastructure for publishing and preserving research data. The better other researchers can understand shared data and the more researchers who can access them, the more those data will be re-used for secondary analysis, producing knowledge. Likewise, the richer an understanding an instructor and her students can gain of the shared data being used to teach and learn a particular research method, the more useful those data are for that pedagogical purpose. And the more a scholar who is evaluating the work of another can learn about the evidence that underpins its claims and conclusions, the better their ability to identify problems and biases in data generation and analysis, and the better informed and thus stronger an endorsement of the work they can offer.

Background:As Canada increases requirements for research data management (RDM) and sharing, there is value in identifying how research data are shared, and what has been done to make them findable and reusable. This study aims to understand Canada’s data sharing landscape by reviewing how Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) funded data are shared, and comparing researchers’ data sharing practices to RDM and sharing best practices. Methods:We performed a descriptive analysis of CIHR-funded publications from PubMed and PubMed Central that were published between 1946 and Dec 31, 2019 and that indicated the research data underlying the results of the publication were shared. Each publication was analyzed to identify how and where data were shared, who shared data, and what documentation was included to support data reuse.Results:Of 4,144 CIHR-funded publications, 45.2% (n=1,876) included accessible data, 21.9% (n=909) stated data were available by request, 7.3% (n=304) stated data sharing was not applicable/possible, and we found no evidence of data sharing in 37.6% (n=1,558) of publications. Frequent data sharing methods included via a repository (n=1,549, 37.3%), within supplementary files (n=1,048, 25.2%), and by request (n=919, 22.1%). 13.1% (n=554) of publications included documentation that would facilitate data reuse.Interpretation:Our findings reveal that CIHR-funded publications largely lack the metadata, access instructions, and documentation to facilitate data discovery and reuse. Without measures to address these concerns, and enhanced support for researchers seeking to implement RDM and sharing best practices, most CIHR-funded research data will remain hidden, inaccessible, and unusable.

IntroductionThe cultural revolution of data sharing is becoming a global movement. It allows for scientific replication and verification of research results, avoiding research duplication, and enabling greater transparency and knowledge mobilization with a relatively low cost. However, privacy protection and data security are critical concerns for human-subject related data sharing. Objectives and ApproachIn order to facilitate data sharing and engage various stakeholders to better inform policy and practice while protecting privacy, SAGE (Secondary Analysis to Generate Evidence) was established by PolicyWise for Children and Families. It is a collaborative data repository platform that connects stakeholders through secondary use of data. SAGE was built to link, manage, and share research data, community service data, and administrative data related to health and social well-being. Governance and technical processes are in place to ensure that data depositors are involved in decision-making, and data accessed by collaborators are secured and re-identification risks assessed. ResultsSAGE has been in operation for over a year. Through engagement with the research and non-profit communities, SAGE now offers ten data assets. Discovery is facilitated through well-documented metadata through NADA and Dataverse. Six new collaborative projects have been initiated through SAGE. SAGE is working actively with local non-profits to liberate data to generate evidence and collaborate with each other on common goals. SAGE has helped these organizations understand the legal and legislative barriers to data sharing, and build the technical capacity to further this goal. Discussions are underway with Alberta public entities on how SAGE can support the linkage and governance processes in the use of administrative data. Conclusion/ImplicationsSAGE is putting the governance processes and security practices in place to fill a need for a facilitated data sharing model for sensitive data. SAGE is supporting the cultural shift towards data sharing and reuse by fostering trust and collaboration among researchers, non-profit and government ministries.

As researchers embrace open and transparent data sharing, they will need to provide information about their data that effectively helps others understand their data sets’ contents. Without proper documentation, data stored in online repositories such as OSF will often be rendered unfindable and unreadable by other researchers and indexing search engines. Data dictionaries and codebooks provide a wealth of information about variables, data collection, and other important facets of a data set. This information, called metadata, provides key insights into how the data might be further used in research and facilitates search-engine indexing to reach a broader audience of interested parties. This Tutorial first explains terminology and standards relevant to data dictionaries and codebooks. Accompanying information on OSF presents a guided workflow of the entire process from source data (e.g., survey answers on Qualtrics) to an openly shared data set accompanied by a data dictionary or codebook that follows an agreed-upon standard. Finally, we discuss freely available Web applications to assist this process of ensuring that psychology data are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.
