Open Data - Science topic

I have had no trouble in finding characteristics for a given species of plant as I can search for it and find it in plant databases or for more specific questions I can look for individual publications.

On the other hand, going the other way around (i.e. from a set of criteria and trying to find a set of plants that meet them), has often been a challenge. Especially for basic traits, it seems that such a system should exist by now and it would be fairly trivial to extend existing plant databases to support trait searching.

Personally I am using it to find candidates for further research so while references are always a bonus (it saves time when I research and is probably correlated with better accuracy of the information), coping with some low quality information is better than having read higher quality sources (e.g. CABI Compendium, research papers, etc.) for a much larger pool of species.

I am currently aware of the following but I haven't had much luck with them:

Overall, I just want to know what is out there that I should look into.

Being easily programmatically accessible (either via API or just downloading the whole database) is a plus, but can be compensated for if the standard interface is powerful enough.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Why are some full text articles readily available in RG, whereas other full text articles are only available upon request?

Greetings, fortunately recently my paper was published which were regarding open data, however, I intend to establish a new research project now and collaborate with other researchers, preferably from other countries, and intend to have a look at open data from a legal lens. What steps should I take to expand my academic reach and find coauthors for my future research project?

Thank you

Dear Researchers, I am looking for open-source Gravity/Magnetic data for interpretations via Oasis montaj Software and Voxi Earth Modeling. Please specify some sources where form the data is easily accessible.

Greetings, I hope everyone is having a great day. Just wanted to share my joy of my paper being published in the field of open data and economics and would be happy to share the work which is on "https://doi.org/10.1007/s13132-023-01518-z".

Also, welcome any feedback or opinions from fellow colleagues and researchers.

In some time I would like to publish the results of my work. I want to publish data sets that are also part of my work.

Which digital repository to choose that:

Can you recommend something?

Hi all,

I am looking for shapefiles (or, any other GIS format) on 9-digit Zip codes for the US (NY and MA states), which includes the regular 5-digit zip codes plus the 4-digit courier codes. I found the 5-digit zip codes via multiple portals but not the full 9-digit dataset. Is there a way to access the 4-digit courier codes or the full 9-D dataset? Some private delivery services make them available for a fee. I am looking for open data alternatives as my funding does not cover data purchasing. Any direction will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

When I want to open my project file in smartPLS 3.0, nothing appears on it, even on the indicator's pannel. In the indicator's pannel there is a message that'' Your data file setup is corrupt. Please open the data file and revise the setup''. I have also changed the file format to csv. I appreciate your kind help in advance!

I am trying to get historical AQI data for cities across the world. Air Quality Open Data Platform (https://aqicn.org/data-platform/covid19/) has extensive data, but 2015-2018 data is available only for the first 6 months (H1). Does anyone know of other AQI databases where I could find yearly global AQI data?

I have a question about the formal difficulties that may arise with the publication of a preprint when a journal agrees to have it published during the review process. So it is legal, but: How is it working? Does it violate the double-blind rule? Let us imagine this situation: I am a reviewer and I want to check the originality of the work, so I do research, and here, boom, the text is on the RG and I already know who published it. Moreover, on RG, the author knows that a potential reviewer has viewed his manuscript. In my opinion, this is a risk. Is it worth it? After all, open review and commenting on unpublished works is not a popular practice in the social sciences.

Same with the open data. I have no problem publishing them, I would like to do so, but it violates the anonymity of the manuscript I submitted. Of course, for beginner researchers like me, it may not matter much, but when someone gets some positive and negative contacts in academic community, it can be a real problem that arises with work experience. How do you see it?

Do there exist open data online sites where one can submit nematode micrographs, VCE videos, and image metadata? A content management system like Drupal could work. The level of effort and maintenance of such a site would be high.

Extending NemSyst (https://nemys.ugent.be/) with a citizen science add-on that allows users to submit observations?

Many of the existing sites are not quite there yet as far as nematodes go. iNaturalist.org is close -- https://www.inaturalist.org/. May be able to make it work?

I was wondering if there was an authority providing PM1 official measurement as open data. I checked in Europe and in the US but could not find anything apart from PM10 or PM2.5 official measurements. Many thanks

Please share the links in your comments.

Many Global cities are opening Public transportation data feed under open license. General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is already offering such valuable information within the provision of freely license specification besides TRANSM.

Here I can see a summary in case of Germany (but not sure it is complete!!)- https://bit.ly/2Ut5Mf0

Looking forward....

Dear All,

I would like to published data from experiments in which the fibre sensor was used to detect the specific antibodies.

What is the best free repository for publishing such data?

We live in a world of data, that much is obvious. Open data can be used to create new value and has many applications. But I'm curious how do you think open data can impact local development, how can it help local government? Maybe you have some experience, interesting examples?

Gray literature vs. scientific literature

-What are the advantages and disadvantages of gray literature compared to scientific literature.

-What are the repositories that you know about gray literature.

-What is the importance of gray literature for developing countries

Gray literature is "materials and research produced by organizations outside of the traditional commercial or academic publishing and distribution channels. Common gray literature publication types include reports (annual, research, technical, project, etc.), working papers, government documents, white papers and evaluations"

Scientific literature "comprises scholarly publications that report original empirical and theoretical work in the natural and social sciences. Within an academic field, scientific literature is often referred to as the literature. Academic publishing is the process of contributing the results of one's research into the literature, which often requires a peer-review process".

I wanted to upskill my analysis skill by using the open data. I tried several courses in edex and openlearning- but it was for those who looking to be become data scientist. I want use those skills in education- to provide analytics alongside the literature reviews.

Is there any available courses on this area? I am looking for microcred programs or online courses offered part-time mode.

HI all,

SRA datasets has a lot of useful and reusable data for researchers. But some of them might be the ones that never get used at all. I would appreciate anyone advice on how can these data be more useful for the researchers? Would it be helpful to have it QCed and provide a quality metrics to the data, or maybe in some way ready to use data ie.e preprocessed? Is one dataset more used than the other (RNAseq vs DNA vs Metagenomics or a disease specific?

I am currently doing research on public transportation and the epidemic. Is there any open data related to the spread of the epidemic on public transportation?

Hello,

I have a student that I am supervising who needs some type of open data set for analyzing using Structural Equation Modeling. It would need to be data from which latent variables/ constructs such as e.g. trait anxiety can be created. So, questionnaires and surveys are ideal for that.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations.

Greetings! I am interested in open-data locations on the web related to cybersecurity or cybercrime attacks recorded over the past 1-3 years, and the location of those attacked?

As I am currently doing regression related work, I hope to have some open data and help me to test my model, so I need you to provide me with some datasets that can be used. The requirement of datasets is N *feature*time series, where N represents the number of samples, feature represents the number of original feature channels.Time series refers to the number of channels sampled. At present, I have NASA's WEAR dataset, but I think it is not enough, so I need your help.

I am in the process of writing a project proposal and finally wanted to include open-access dataset as a deliverable. Haven't published datasets before, it took some looking around and Zenodo and Figshare seem to be the most recognized ones, at least in the environmental engineering field. Zenodo seems to provide DOIs, but not sure about Figshare.

I am interested to know, have you already published your data there, or have you ever used someone else's data from Zenodo/Figshare?

Hi everyone,

we are testing a calibration-free algorithm to estimate the concentration of a unknown material using the LIBS spectra. It is implemented in Matlab and we plan to publish it in Github for everyone to use. I was wondering if anyone know of raw spectra of materials with known concentration (for example, standard reference materials -SRMs- from NIST) made available online. We would use these spectra to test and improve the algorithm.

I have noticed that in other research disciplines (artificial intelligence above all) it is nowadays common practice to share the code and the data, in many others, and in LIBS spectroscopy in particular, it is very rare.

Thank you all in advance for your answers.

Regards!

Adolfo.

Does anyone knows an Open data source or sharable data source for traumatic brain injury neuroimaging (Structural MRI,DTI,CT)?

Greetings all,

How hard/easy is it to get access to clinical trials raw data, and how long does it usually take to get access clinical trials individual patient data through websites such as The YODA project or MSD?

Is any database of open-data websides ( fe www.worldometers.info...etc.) in the field of social, environmental and economical problematics, or do you know is any research about collecting data from inter-face of web pages..., longitudial project to store and provide to researchers..., if not, i will start :) thank you to all to help me

Any ideas for dummies in the Energy sector?

I am looking for data set to develop a flood forecasting system specifically for an agriculture dominated watershed. The requirements include a) fine resolution DEM b) land use type and soil hydrologic group c) hourly/sub-hourly rainfall data for a minimum of 30 years d) hourly/sub-hourly stream flow data and e)demographic details of the area. It would be helpful if you suggest any data repository/experimental watershed for collecting the above mentioned data. I assure you that the services offered will be duly acknowledged.

In my research related to monitoring the cow behavior with help of sensors I have a permanent and principal problem with the data for model validation. I tried to find some available open-source data sets and ask people on the last EAAP conference, but in vain. I need, for example, a dataset including records of tag accelerations for tens of cows for several days to validate my behavior discrimination model on data achieved in other conditions. The question is do datasets exist and where are they located?

Conference and journal papers building models for the behavior prediction have the same problem. But this problem is solved, for example, for the face recognition. There exist a site with the available datasets https://www.face-rec.org/databases/. Hence, I decided to concentrate links to all datasets that I find in one place on GitHub.

Hello, can anyone suggest publications that accept manuscripts on materials, methods, and resulting data sets? I'm not looking for a website to host the dataset, but looking to publish a data paper (i.e. a description of my data) in a data journal.

For my assignment, I am to use open data that focuses on ransomware attacks (however other forms of cyber attacks are also useful) so that I can identify trends and write my report. My report is based on attacks on local governments and councils however I have not been able to find any data that is refined enough.

Most of the publicly available databases give only the basic information like age, gender, mode of infection, etc. regarding the infected patients suffering from CoVID 19. So, can anyone recommend or suggest more specific databases related to image, speech or clinical data of the patients that are meant for open research?

Hello,

I have the feeling that everything in chemistry related to information and data in particular is very sharded and obscured. Are there any projects ensuring more transparency and openess of the data? I am getting quite lost to be honest and would wish for more standards and unity in the field.

Thanks,

Julian

Does anyone know any open-source databases of Raman spectrum with anti-Stokes data?

I need the anti-Stokes part to prove my algorithm, but it seems that most of the databases only provide the spectrum starts from the positive wavenumber.

Please suggest the open-source Raman databases with data collecting that include the negative wavenumber region.

Thank you for your kind help.

I am looking for hyperspectral images from UAV that captured forest or forest plantation. Do you know about some source where I can download some examples?

Thank you

I would like to test the statistical effect of a foreign-imposed regime-change (FIRC) on target country's trade openness data. My sample includes 29 cases of FIRCs in the past 70 years with trade-openness data (imports+exports/GDP) available for almost all of them.

I considered comparing the mean differences in trade-openness of affected countries with a control group of the region using MANOVA or t-test, but I am not quite sure if this can work, since I am not familiar with important events logic incorporated in time-series testing.

Tanks already!

I downloaded MODIS NDVI data from 2001 to 2005 from Google Earth Engine using batch download for an area in Australia. I drew a polygon to demarcate my aoi for cropping. When I opened the exported dataset in ArcGIS, the images looked warped. The size and shape is different to the original polygon. For example, my aoi is a vertical rectangle, but when I opened data in ArcGIS, it showed images as horizontal rectangles. Of course, I changed the projection, but the problem remains same.

Can anyone help with solving this issue?

I have been looking for open data bases on micro-Doppler for drones but I couldn't one. Does anyone know where I can find such a database for download?

I'm looking for shared data of Coronavirus patients, in particular, I need the demographic, clinical, and survival characteristics to test some hypotheses in a secondary analysis.

Are there any databases/websites that share COVID-19 patients data?

We are looking for open data on the identification of stress (arousal or other related emotions) from physiological signals, specially Electrodermal activity (Galvanic Skin Response) but also Heart Rate Variability or EEG

Our ideal data set would contain the physiological signal(s) time series labelled with the stressors and at least 500 records (same or different individuals)

Thank you for reading!

Hello,

Is there a (preferably free) way to download all molecules (SMILES or SDF) from a published scientific article?

Like searching pubchem or chembl or ZINC via DOI or so?

I would like to extract molecules from some papers, but I would like

to avoid having to input each molecule by hand...

Thanks a lot,

hi every one,

please, I work on urban traffic modeling, and I have to make simulation, but I don't have a data base of traffic. So I wonder if you could give an open data of traffic.

thanks

Dear experts,

Hello, this is Jean who is new to use ADNI data + DTI data.

I downloaded Axial DTI data of AD & CN, and I drop those data in dcm2niigui, but it does not work to covert to 4d nil image.

So I checked the data and it has 2,714 of dcm, which is different from what I got in PPMI DTI files.

Is it a matter of axial dti files? or is there any other issue regarding this??

Thank you!

I'm currently working on a project that desperately needs real-world data to test. What are some cities around the world where we can easily download OD matrices?

Hello scientists,

I'm looking for standardisations and regulations for open data provided by german/european cities.

To be more specific, I'm looking for standards, which portals like this (https://www.offenedaten-koeln.de/dataset/verkehrskalender-der-stadt-k%C3%B6ln/field_tags/transport-und-verkehr-52?sort_by=changed) are build upon.

I'm especially looking for standards, that regulate city traffic data, how they are stored, how they can be received (hopefully in near future), and how the stored information can be linked to common road transport network specifications.

If there are standards, i would appreciate if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank you very much.

Cooperatives and data availability.

We are doing some research on Bonn's urban structure and historical buildings/ neighborhoods/ destinations. We would like to find all sorts of GIS data for Bonn (e.g., topography, building footprint, streets, land use and land cover, sociodemographics). Web searching has been challenging for us, as we don't speak German. Can someone recommend some web pages where open data can be found? Thank you!

Dear colleague,

I am leader of the research project B-DATA – Big Data Assemblages: Techniques and Actors. B-DATA has the intent to study data assemblages inside research centres and data infrastructures which produce and use open data and Big Data. The three main case studies are: the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA, Norway)); Italian Statistical Office (ISTAT, Italy); the Web Science Institute of the University of Southampton (UK).

During my research i came accross to some of the topics that have been adressed by your project. I was thinkink if you were interested in making a comparison with what is happening here in Italy at ISTAT. I can have full access to this field.

This is just a first contact. If you are interested, we can have some contacts to understand the feasibility of that.

I attach an open access article that show some of the finding of B-DATA, that may help you to understand what I am researching.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely, Biagio Aragona.

The general public relies increasingly on mobile applications for day-to-day services. Beyond sharing data sets, it is more and more important for agencies such as the Asian Development Bank, USAID, the World Bank, etc. to satisfy the communications needs of their clients, audiences, and partners (not to mention those of their own employees) by the same means. Across the project cycle, meaning, the various stages from country programming to project completion and evaluation, where might there be opportunities for cheap, effective, and low-maintenance mobile applications à la "build-once, deploy-anywhere"?

The trend recently is towards sharing data in open data repositories. Some journals require that data be sent to such repositories as articles are submitted. Considering the pros and cons of data sharing, how willing will you as a researcher be willing to share the yet unexplored data of your research vis-à-vis the requirements for such submission by some journals?

Public organizations face important challenges regarding information access. There is an increased pressure for transparency, open data and information access. On the other hand, there is the right to privacy, the right to be forgotten, commercial and banking secrecies. How to find an acceptable balance?

I have tens of thousands of individual scans in proprietary file formats, and I want to make these public. I need a format that is free and open, or to make my own.

Our proprietary software offers a CSV option, but doesn't export all useful data to the file. In addition, the CSV file it creates is more like two spreadsheets, with the second half having the per-channel photon counts.

I've considered using XML because it is both machine and human readable. My only concern is that XML is bloated. XML has the added benefit of being readable over a web browser, and can be quickly converted to almost any language, including JSON.

Microsoft INI format is also machine and human readable, but INI is fairly phased out. Software writers still have full access to INI functions though, so I wonder if this is still a viable format. INI also converts well to object notation.

Both INI and XML could better represent two spreadsheets worth of different-typed content in a single file than a CSV.

What are your thoughts?

I am looking for Open data access of any kind of source, for data mining and Big Data applications

Hello,

Recently I downloaded Satellite Data of JERS-1 SAR. The first problem was the data didn’t opened in any software like (SNAP, MapReady, ArcGIS, ENVI, Erdas). The second problem was the data when extract it got without any extension, it read just file.

Please Help my find program open these data.

Dear all,

Open science seems to become more and more important for Higher Education. I wonder if Open Science is an own Mission of HEI, or if it i one aspect of Third Mission of Higher Education Institutions.

What do you think?

In my opinion many parts, but not all aspects of open science belong to Third Mission, but Open access and Open data not.

Looking for a fruitful discussion on this topic.

Have a nice day and best regards

Question is about data analysis

Dear network,

I'm looking for precipitation data in Brasil with the following requirements:

- daily

- covering 2017

- spatial resolution: less than 500 m

- based on measures in Brasil (not only modeling)

Thank you for your precious help on this,

Greetings!

I require some form of risk measurement (interval or ordinal scale) within business activity classifications.

I do have some NACE v2 (Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community) classes (at least on level 2 - two digit format [88 items]), and I need a variable for these, which do express the comparative total risks associated with that specific business activity.

I have thought about simple volatility measures based on equity markets (for example average, 5 year annual volatility for stocks in a class), but surprisingly such data is not easy to get. The first problem is, that there are numerous classification systems (SIC, NAICS, ISIC, GICS, BICS, TRBC, ICB) and most viable sources use classifications which are lacking direct correspondence tables to NACE v2 (for example SIC from 1987). The latter four classification systems used by market data vendors are proprietary and there are no correspondence tables at all. Even so, I might have access to a Bloomberg Terminal, that data is problematic to be used in my publication. Some form of open data would be more helpful. I have seen this article: Kakushadze, Zura; Yu, Willie (2017): Open Source Fundamental Industry Classification. In Data 2 (2), p. 20. DOI: 10.3390/data2020020, but it is using SIC as well, and it gives no clue on how to produce the volatility measures (how to acquire and process ten thousands of time-series to get the aggregated volatilities). And that procedure might fall outside my capacities.

We are working on analysis of those medical records in traditional medicine. But we are lacking those medical records in traditional medicine. Is there any place in which I can find the open data of those records?

Those records may include narrative texts with tradition medicine terminology.

I need a open data set which contains reviews (comments) about people (eg: doctors / lecturers / politicians) for my project from where can I get that type of data set?

Hi guys, recently some of my data are presenting the following error message ""Invalid RR interval values (RR zero or negative!). File cannot be opened" error" . I'm collecting HR and HRV through Polar RS 800 CX and analyzing with Kubios HRV. Does anyone faced some similar problem or know how to fix it? (This problem appears while opening the data txt files with Kubios)

Thanks for your attention all! Greetings from Brazil.

I am looking for an open data set which includes students information related to courses, degree programs etc. The label of the data set should be grades of students.

In many implementations of Learning Analytics systems at universities the collection of learner-generated data is routine. But, students are typically not advised that this is happening. In formal research contexts such data collection would constitute a breach of research ethics. This issue is one among many others as it becomes easier & easier to produce & collect data

What is the relationship between "free speech" and "open data"?

Using the spectrometer, I obtained the raw graph (image attached) which has its x-axis as wavelength. I understand that it needs to be converted to wavenumber in order for me to obtain the raman spectra.

How do I go about this? Do I have to open the data in matlab and code the program to convert every point within the data?

Dear colleagues

I ‘m looking for P3 micro CT-scan of recent Pongo (5 - 10 specimens).

So, if you know:

-someone who can share some micro CT-scan data,

-or the name of an institution and contact susceptible to provide micro CT-scan data about Pongo teeth.

-or database like “MorphoSource” where I can access to micro CT-scan open data.

I will appreciate your help.

I'm an open source activist contributing on Promotion/Participation/Initiation of FOSS Related activities from Nepal. During my undergraduate study, I contributed from Kathmandu University Open Source Community an autonomous wing of Kathmandu University Computer Club.

Currently I am continuing to contribute via FOSS COMMUNITY NEPAL. So this year FOSS Nepal is planning to organize a Conference focusing on the Free and Open Source Software. As I'm taking the responsibility of setting the roadmap as well as managing the overall conference, I am not only collecting the research done by researchers but also investing time and effort to incubate research topics and also helping researchers in doing he research. So I would like to present you Researchers my ideas I've thought about and would want feedback on my points as well as new ideas on doing researches: 1) Doing Research on Penetration of FOSS Technologies mainly focusing on Government sector, School, Institutions and Research Centers 2) Adaptation of Free and Open Source Softwares in Health, Education, Research. 3) Open Data and it's implementation for solving community problems.

In order to do research and surveys on above mentioned topics, I am planning to work with Student from different college and Universities. But currently I don't have plans and action items which would make sure that these researches would get completed because I have no areas of generating resource.

Therefore I would like to request you researchers to help me identify opportunities, challenges and resource generating aspects of successfully organizing a Conference.

It would be great to hear from you all.

Thank You.
