Data sharing is worthwhile
In een bijdrage van Tim Thwaites getiteld "Show me the data: Citing information increases science impact" (pag.4) wordt gerefereerd aan een interessante studie van Heather Piwowar uit 2007 in het gerenommeerde open access tijdschrift PLoSone, getiteld "Sharing detailed research data is associated with increased citation rate".
"Background: Sharing research data provides benefit to the general scientific community, but the benefit is less obvious for the investigator who makes his or her data available.
Principal Findings: We examined the citation history of 85 cancer microarray clinical trial publications with respect to the availability of their data. The 48% of trials with publicly available microarray data received 85% of the aggregate citations. Publicly available data was significantly (p = 0.006) associated with a 69% increase in citations, independently of journal impact factor, date of publication, and author country of origin using linear regression.
Significance: This correlation between publicly available data and increased literature impact may further motivate investigators to share their detailed research data."

Wikipedia en wetenschap
"What is perhaps surprising is that Wikipedia appears to be increasingly used by scholars for their research. Research published in 2011 looked at the visibility of Wikipedia in scholarly content, and found a steady increase of the amount of work about Wikipedia from 2002 to 2010"
