Data sharing. Sharing research data, a practice that every researcher should implement in the research process
Keywords:
Data sharing, open access, open data, data repository.Abstract
Introduction: Data sharing is a practice that benefits and nurtures open science movement. The reuse of raw data can provide new research results and give a second use to data sets created for another purpose, which can also serve as a support for research results.
Objective: To present and update the most important aspects related to data sharing as part of the research process.
Material and Methods: This is a bibliographic study that analyzes and compiles the main aspects that a researcher who intends to share the data resulting from his research should know. Content analysis and classic documentary analysis were used for the selection of documents relevant to the study on the subject analyzed.
Development: A guide to data repositories and repository search engines is established, and its main characteristics are explained. The importance of the role of journals in the process of sharing research data, international trends in scientific journals, and the levels of access to research data sets, are explained. The advantages of the application of data sharing and its importance are discussed.
Conclusions: Recommendations, which should be considered when choosing repositories to host research data, are offered.
