Purpose of study: Considering the growing importance of open science and the role of journals in disseminating its practices, this study aims to investigate and characterize the data-sharing editorial policies of Brazilian social science scholarly journals listed in the SciELO collection. Methods: This quantitative research performs a descriptive cross-sectional study of the data-sharing editorial policies of a sample of 47 Brazilian journals from Applied Social Sciences included in the SciELO collection in 2022. The method consists of the thematic content analysis of the editorial policies of the publications extracted from the electronic page of each publication in the sample. Eighteen variables are analyzed, 11 referring to the characteristics of the journals and seven related to the features of the policies. Results: The results show that 34% of the titles in the sample have some data sharing policy and, among these, 62.5% have optional policies; 68.7% indicate a repository for data deposit, especially SciELO Data and Zenodo. Where existent, the observed policies are often incomplete or silent regarding the types of data and formats accepted for sharing. Conclusions: The results align with those of the international empirical literature, which point to the lower frequency of data-sharing policies and the prevalence of optional policies in social science journals. New studies are needed to investigate better the correlations between attributes of Brazilian journals and characteristics of existing policies and to monitor the dissemination and maturation of editorial policies for these publications.

Scientists’ interest in sharing research data based on Robert K. Merton’s ethos of science is analyzed. Thirty scientific documents from Scopus and Web of Science citation indexes were reviewed. The interpretative analysis of the content was done with the ATLAS. ti software. Among the findings, several factors associated with scientists’ refusal to share data in science stand out. Other positions were also found that promote awareness in favor of distributing them, since the common good is above private interests. Finally, it is verified that the ethos of science is an appropriate proposal to analyze the interest of researchers in the distribution of research data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research data sharing, data reuse and facilitating access to research data are not common researchers' practices, except in certain disciplines, such as Meteorology, Genetics or Astronomy. Institutional, publishers' and funders' policies have made the culture of sharing and managing research data particularly relevant. However, the threat of being scooped, the fear to the misuse of their data, to lose control over their data, or the fear to infringe the legislation on intellectual property, are barriers that scientific community faces when trying to make their data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR data). In this work, we have analyzed the pros and cons of sharing and reusing data, based on previous works in the literature that have allowed us to perceive researchers' habits and perceptions in this regard.

As the theme of these JIDEE 2018 (Improving the Spatial Data Exchange to protect the Biosphere), from the Spatial Data Infrastructure of Valencia (IDEV) we are focused on improving, facilitating and raising awareness about the exchange of spatial data, especially in environmental matters. As a result of the recent boost provided by the Institut Cartogràfic Valencià (ICV) and the General Directorate of ICT of the Generalitat, the new IDEV has emerged with a very clear objective: to sensitize and facilitate that all the Consellerias incorporate and share their information and services geographic There are already 7 Councils, 11 General Directorates and more than 20 service heads, between the central and territorial, which trust this platform and put at the service of the users their geographic information. IDEV currently contains more than 1000 data sets and geographic services that allow even the least advanced user to search for data, query metadata, direct download and display data in the general viewer or in one of the thematic. Unique data is always offered, managed by those responsible for its production and constantly updated. The statistics of access and download of the IDEV since January 2018 support the successful decision to publish all available data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of open data, which demands that many more conditions be met than simple internet accessability in any format, is analyzed. Some examples are given about the importance of open data repositories in efforts to promote transparency in science and avoid scientific fraud. Some of the main problems in the management of data repositories are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emergence in the scientific community of an initiative known as data sharing, consisting of sharing research data among researchers and aiming to maximize efforts and resources, is analysed. First, the concept of research data and the related technical difficulties depending on the discipline are reviewed. We also examine the motivations, origins and growth of this movement, which has had an important impact on the scientific community's behaviour through the creation of repositories and data banks, raising both technical and social challenges. Then we discuss leading funding agencies' initiatives and scientific journals' editorial policies promoting these practices. Finally, we examine the impact these major changes in researchers' habits have for librarians, including the emergence of new professional profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
