Knowledge exchange – Value of research: Metrics for datasets from a cultural and technical point of view
This report seeks to further explore the possibilities of metrics for datasets (…) and an effective reward system that aligns the main interests of the main stakeholders involved in the process. (…) The most important recommendations include the general adoption of data sharing and data publication among scholars; the development of a reward system for scientists that includes data metrics; reducing the costs of data publication; reducing existing negative cultural perceptions of researchers regarding data publication; developing standards for preservation, publication, identification and citation of datasets; more coordination of data repository initiatives; and further development of interoperability protocols across different actors.
