Abstract

Objective

Understanding and targeting cancer stem cells (CSC) are areas of active research in oncology and further dissemination of scientific results is urgently needed to accelerate the comprehension of their involvement in tumor heterogeneity, resistance to conventional therapies and metastasis. In the context of open science, open access and data sharing, the aim of this study is to assess the current practices of cancer researchers in terms of publications and dissemination of research data.

Method

A bibliometric study was conducted based on a bibliographic search using the Web of Science, and CSC articles with at least one Spanish affiliation were retrieved. A comparative study of the openness criteria of the journals was carried out, as well as an analysis of the associated data attached to the articles as supplementary material or deposited in repositories.

Results

708 documents from 282 journals were retrieved. 303 articles contained associated research data, mostly published in Q1 journals, demonstrating a correlation between impact journals and their commitment to quality improvement. Supplementary material was the preferred method of data sharing, being pdf the most used file type. Only 69 articles mentioned datasets deposited in repositories, mainly from genomic nature. The main cancers studied were digestive and gastrointestinal, neurological, breast, hematological and respiratory, which coincided with the tumor types with the highest incidence and mortality, and in which the presence of CSC has been described.

Conclusions

Researchers and publishers have become more aware of open science practices, but there is still a need for data quality according to the FAIR principles.

癌症干细胞研究的开放存取和数据共享

目的了解和靶向癌症干细胞（CSC）是肿瘤学的活跃研究领域，迫切需要进一步传播科学成果，以加速了解它们在肿瘤异质性、常规疗法抗药性和转移中的参与情况。在开放科学、开放存取和数据共享的背景下，本研究的目的是评估癌症研究人员在发表论文和传播研究数据方面的现行做法。方法通过科学网的文献检索进行了一项文献计量学研究，检索了至少有一个西班牙分支机构的 CSC 文章。对期刊的开放性标准进行了比较研究，并对作为补充材料附在文章之后或存放在资料库中的相关数据进行了分析。结果检索到 282 种期刊的 708 篇文献，其中 303 篇包含相关研究数据，大部分发表在 Q1 期刊上，这表明有影响力的期刊与其对提高质量的承诺之间存在相关性。补充材料是数据共享的首选方法，pdf 是使用最多的文件类型。只有 69 篇文章提到了存放在资料库中的数据集，主要是基因组性质的数据集。研究的主要癌症有消化道和胃肠道癌症、神经系统癌症、乳腺癌、血液系统癌症和呼吸系统癌症，这些癌症与发病率和死亡率最高的肿瘤类型相吻合，而且在这些肿瘤类型中也有CSC的存在。
