Exploring Arab researchers' research data sharing and requesting practices: a survey study
PurposeThis survey-based study aims to explore the research data dissemination and requesting practices of Arab researchers. It investigates the reasons, types, methods, barriers and motivations associated with data sharing and requesting in the Arab research community.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 205 Arab researchers representing various disciplines and career stages. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.FindingsThe study found that 91.2% of Arab researchers share data, while 56.6% access data from others. Reasons for sharing include promoting transparency and collaboration while requesting data is driven by the need to validate findings and explore new research questions. Processed/analysed data and survey/questionnaire data are the most commonly shared and requested types.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by examining data sharing and requesting practices in the Arab research community. It provides original insights into the motivations, barriers and data types shared and requested by Arab researchers. This can inform future research and initiatives to promote regional data sharing.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-06-2023-0283
期刊介绍:
The journal provides a multi-disciplinary forum for scholars from a range of fields, including information studies/iSchools, data studies, internet studies, media and communication studies and information systems.
Publishes research on the social, political and ethical aspects of emergent digital information practices and platforms, and welcomes submissions that draw upon critical and socio-technical perspectives in order to address these developments.
Welcomes empirical, conceptual and methodological contributions on any topics relevant to the broad field of digital information and communication, however we are particularly interested in receiving submissions that address emerging issues around the below topics.
Coverage includes (but is not limited to):
•Online communities, social networking and social media, including online political communication; crowdsourcing; positive computing and wellbeing.
•The social drivers and implications of emerging data practices, including open data; big data; data journeys and flows; and research data management.
•Digital transformations including organisations’ use of information technologies (e.g. Internet of Things and digitisation of user experience) to improve economic and social welfare, health and wellbeing, and protect the environment.
•Developments in digital scholarship and the production and use of scholarly content.
•Online and digital research methods, including their ethical aspects.
