"Why don't we share data and code?" Nice and concise infographic about perceived barriers and benefits. Full article: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2022.1113
@Flor__Mu the latest argument I’m getting against data sharing is that others will interpret the data differently. Like, ‘we won’t give you the data because we don’t agree with how you want to analyze it and what you think that analysis means’. Any suggestions for that one?
@paulralph I've been hearing that one too! Personnally, when hearing this argument, I usually suggest a detailed README, but i'd be happy to hear other suggestions.
I think the authors of the infographic have it covered under 'inapropriate use' (yellow part of the chart).
@paulralph Agree with you. On a side note, I've just come accross this page with the notion of dual use, which I think raises interesting and valid questions too: https://www.recherche.uliege.be/cms/c_11374378/en/dual-use
@Flor__Mu IMO data should be shared by default, and refusing to share should require a compelling justification, typically based on protecting privacy or trade secrets. Authors shouldn’t have the right to dictate how future users might interpret or use datasets.
