Hop open is innovation research? - Taking stock of open data

Description

In this work, we investigate the prevalence of and attitudes towards Open Data in the academic innovation community. Existing research highlights
the positive impact of data sharing. In order to answer the research question we sent a questionnaire to more than 3,000 innovation scholars around the globe and received 253 useable
replies (8,4%). We find that innovation scholars generally feel that data curation for publishing does not attest a too high burden. The bulk of
innovation scholars also think that data sharing benefits like increasing transparency and discoursing misconduct should be considered in tenure
procedures. Additionally, the majority of respondents agree that used data should be available to the reviewers during the review process and to the
general public 12 months after publication. However, only about half of the scholars in our sample share their data regularly. The analysis suggests
that they are afraid of the potential consequences of releasing flawed code and/or erroneous data.
