Seeing oneself as a data reuser: How subjectification activates the drivers of data reuse in science.

Considerable resources are being invested in strategies to facilitate the sharing of data across domains, with the aim of addressing inefficiencies and biases in scientific research and unlocking potential for science-based innovation. Still, we know too little about what determines whether scientific researchers actually make use of the unprecedented volume of data being shared. This study characterizes the factors influencing researcher data reuse in terms of their relationship to a specific research project, and introduces subjectification as the mechanism by which these influencing factors are activated.

Data Management Plans in Horizon 2020: what beneficiaries think and what we can learn from their experience.

Data Management Plans (DMPs) are at the heart of many research funder requirements for data management and open data, including the EU's Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, Horizon 2020. This article provides a summary of the findings of the DMP Use Case study, conducted as part of OpenAIRE Advance. As part of the study we created a vetted collection of over 800 Horizon 2020 DMPs.

Sticks AND Carrots: Encouraging Open Science at its source.

The Open Science (OS) movement has been seen as an important facilitator for public participation in science. This has been underpinned by the assumption that widespread and free access to research outputs leads to (i) better and more efficient science, (ii) economic growth, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises wishing to capitalise on research findings and (iii) increased transparency of knowledge production and its outcomes. The latter in particular could function as a catalyst for public participation and engagement.
