During Open Access week in October, Figshare released the results of its global survey of 2,000 researchers in a report that assesses the global landscape around open data and sharing practices. Now viewed by over 14,000 people, “The State of Open Data” – report and survey finds 80% of researchers value data citation as much as, or more than article citation.
This webinar will look at the motivations behind this report and will delve into some of the unique data as well as taking a look at the global state of open data. Participants can hear from report participants, as well as: Delta Think, an industry consultancy that has just launched an Open Access Investigation, a subscription database and report resource for all Open Access market stakeholders, and the Open Research group at the Wellcome Trust.
Additionally, this webinar will look at key findings from the Open Data Report and global researcher survey; emerging policies for open research data in the US and Europe; and big data, knowledge production and the political economy of research.
