Details
Data are the core output of empirical research. The value and trustworthiness of research will be enhanced by sharing of data, metadata and data-analysis plans. Open data enables detection of questionable research practices like p-hacking and selective publication and investigating allegations of fabrication and falsification. Despite sharing clinical trial data is considered by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) as an “ethical obligation”, data sharing practices are suboptimal and data sharing statements are all too often empty promises. Greater rewarding of best practices can incentivize data generators, particularly those who work in low- and middle- income countries. Improving actual data sharing practices suppose an active involvement of many stakeholders including sponsors, funders, editors, and clinical trial participants. It also takes training a new generation of researchers who are able to share and reuse data responsibly.
In this session, we plan 1/ to present how to improve data sharing for research projects involving researchers in LMICs, 2/ to discuss COPE position on management of empty promises about data sharing, 3/ to discuss the ethics and incentives for clinical trial data sharing, and 4/ to present a comprehensive initiative to train researchers and staff.
