Data from “Linking full-text grey literature to underlying research and post-publication data: An Enhanced Publications Project 2011-20121"
Abstract
The data collected is based on the responses of fifty authors/researchers, who have presented full-text papers published in the International Conference Series on Grey Literature. The dataset consists of ten questions, three of which are open-ended. The data contains the number and percentages of responses to questions dealing with the author’s own empirical research data, its current availability, and the author’s willingness to archive the data and make it openly accessible. The data in this study was collected and computer analyzed via Survey Monkey, where it remains stored along with a copy in Excel housed in the DANS Easy Archive. The data from the study was collected in 2011 within the framework of an enhanced publications project². Since then, emphasis on data preservation, open access, and the reuse of data has increased exponentially. This data from six years ago offers a valuable baseline that would allow for a follow-up questionnaire in part or whole. Hereby, one would stand to gain insight into changing attitudes and practices within GreyNet’s research community and renders potential (re)use by other professional research communities.
An enhanced publication is a new publication model that interconnects a central narrative part with other research products produced through the research process. This type of publication is more rooted within Natural and Exact Science, while its implementation in Social Sciences and Humanities is still incipient. Firstly, through bibliographic research, the concept of enhanced publication is analysed, as well as its configuration within digital publications. Afterwards, the central research question is approached: determine the obstacle to the development of scientific publications in Social Sciences and Humanities. To answer the question, five editors and three repository managers from the Faculty of Humanities of the National University of Mar del Plata (Argentina) were interviewed. The interview followed a free oral interview format. After analysing the answers, four main obstacles that prevent Social Scientists and Humanists from implementing enhanced publications were identified: research data sharing; digitalisation, evaluation, review and recognition; technical and financial. Finally, possible ways to overcome each of these obstacles are discussed, as well as the ways to achieve a significant presence of enhanced publications in Social Sciences and Humanities. Among the possible ways, it worth to highlight the use of data paper for data sharing and for guaranteeing a proper interpretation of the data, and the use of functionalities of Open Journal System, enabling the structuration of an enhanced publication following the embedded parts model.
