30、ding steady momentum: a call to make research data, software code and experimental metbods publicly availablc and transparent A spirit of openness is gaining acceptance in the science community, and is the only way, say advocates, to address acrisis in science whereby too few findings are successful
31、ly reproduced. furthermore, they say, it is the best way for researchers to gather the range of observations that are necessary to speed up discoveries or to identify large-scale trendsb the open-data shift poses a confusing problem for junior researchers,on the one hand, the drive to share is gathe
32、ring official steam. since 2013, global scientific bodies have begun to that support increased public access to research on the other hand, scientists disagree about how much and when they should share data, and they debate whether sharing it is more likely to accelerate science and make it more rob

41、when publishing in journals that mandate it.H researchers at small labs or at institutions focused on teaching arguably have the most to lose.when sharing hard-won data. with my institution and teaching load, i dont have postdocs and grad students, says terry mcglynn, a tropical biologist at califor
42、nia state university,Dominguez hills. the stakes are higher for me to share data because its a bigger fraction of whats happening in my lab.I researchers also point to the time sink that is involved in preparing data for others to view Once the data and associated materials appear in a repository( 存

47、d.Scientists can use a doi to publish each step of the research life cycle, not just the final paper In so doing, they can potentially get three citations- one each for tthe data and software,inaddition to the paper itself. and although some say that citations for software or data hace little curren
48、cy in academia, they can have other benefitsMmany advocates think that transparent data procedures with a date and time stamp will protect ientists from being scooped. this is the sweet spot between sharing and getting credit for it.while discouraging plagiarism says lvo Grigorov a project cooedinator at thenational institute of aquatic resources research secretariat in charlottenlund, denmark. hogg.says that scooping is le
