Pilot 7 - Editorial Workflows to Increase Data Sharing

This Pilot is aimed at increasing data sharing in published work. Data sharing is an important building block for increased reproducibility & transparency, but current rates of sharing are low.

Stakeholders: Publishers

Timeline: January 2024 - September 2025

Objectives: The pilot will improve our knowledge on data sharing with two activities:

- A randomised controlled trial of an intervention targeting data availability statements with the aim to increase deposition of data in trusted repositories.

- A Delphi-study to gather consensus on the most pressing issues and best paths to improve sharing of research data underlying publications.
