Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status and characteristics of research data sharing by domestic researchers by analyzing the data sharing mechanism and repository specified in DAS of papers authored by domestic researchers. To this end, in this study, papers of researchers belonging to domestic institutions published in PLOS ONE from 2014 to 2022 were selected as the subject of the study. First of all, the status of DAS's existence in the papers was identified, the types of data-sharing mechanisms were analyzed using precedent studies, and the trend of changes in each data-sharing mechanism over time was investigated. As a result, it was found that DAS was written in 99.6% of the target papers, and the types of data-sharing mechanisms were similar to international patterns, but preferred types were changing over time. Afterward, focusing on repositories among data sharing mechanisms, the number and ratio of repositories mentioned in DAS were identified, and the trend of changes in use of the five repositories mentioned a lot was analyzed in a time series. In addition, the presentation method, type, and validity of the data access point mentioned along with the repository were also investigated. It was confirmed that the top five frequently mentioned repositories account for 60% of all repository mentions, and the use of a repository dealing with data codes is increasing; in addition, it was found that most of the data access points presented with the repository were valid.

본 연구는 국내 연구자가 저술한 논문의 데이터 가용성 진술(DAS)에 명시된 데이터 공유 메커니즘과 리포지터리를 조사함으로써 국내 연구자의 연구데이터 공유 현황과 특징을 탐구하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 2014년부터 2022년까지 PLOS ONE에 게재된 국내기관 소속 연구자의 논문을 연구의 대상으로 선정하였다. 우선 논문 내 DAS 존재 현황을 파악하고 선행연구를 활용하여 데이터 공유 메커니즘의 유형을 분석하였으며, 시간의 흐름에 따른 데이터 공유 메커니즘별 변화 추이 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 대상 논문의 99.6%에 DAS가 작성되어 있으며 데이터 공유 메커니즘의 유형별 언급 양상은 국제적인 양상과 유사하되, 시간의 흐름에 따라 선호되는 유형이 변화하고 있음을 파악하였다. 이후 데이터 공유 메커니즘 중 리포지터리에 주목하여 DAS에 언급된 리포지터리의 횟수와 비율을 파악하고 다수 언급된 5개 리포지터리의 이용 변화 추이를 시계열적으로 분석하였다. 또한 리포지터리와 함께 언급된 데이터 접근점의 제시 방식과 유형, 유효성 등도 함께 조사하였다. 이를 통해 빈번하게 언급되는 상위 5개 리포지터리가 전체 리포지터리 언급의 60%를 차지하며 데이터 코드를 다루는 리포지터리의 이용이 증가하는 현황이 확인되었고, 리포지터리와 함께 제시된 데이터의 접근점은 대부분 유효하다는 사실을 파악할 수 있었다.
