Funding agencies are exploring narrative CVs to incentivize research data sharing by valuing diverse contributions over simple productivity metrics. This shift aims to encourage open science practices and provide reputational rewards for data sharing.
Area of Science:
- Health Informatics
- Bibliometrics
- Research Policy
Background:
- Data sharing infrastructures are developing to increase cohort data accessibility.
- Lack of data sharing is often attributed to insufficient reputational or financial incentives.
- Existing initiatives focus on contributorship visibility and data sharing indicators.
Conclusions:
- Shifting evaluation systems, such as narrative CVs, can influence researcher behavior towards data sharing.
- Funding agencies play a crucial role in shaping reputational incentives for open science.
- Further development of open science indicators is needed to fully integrate them into evaluation systems.
