Abstract

Objectives

The objective of the study was to analyze researchers' compliance
with their data availability statement (DAS) from manuscripts
published in open-access journals with the mandatory DAS.

Study Design and Setting

We analyzed all articles from 333 open-access journals published
during January 2019 by BioMed Central. We categorized types of the
DAS. We surveyed corresponding authors who wrote in the DAS that they
would share the data. Consent to participate in the study was sought
for all included manuscripts. After accessing raw data sets, we
checked whether data were available in a way that enabled reanalysis.

Results

Of 3556 analyzed articles, 3416 contained the DAS. The most frequent
DAS category (42%) indicated that the data sets are available on
reasonable request. Among 1792 manuscripts in which the DAS indicated
that authors are willing to share their data, 1669 (93%) authors
either did not respond or declined to share their data with us. Among
254 (14%) of 1792 authors who responded to our query for data
sharing, only 123 (6.8%) provided the requested data.

Conclusion

Even when authors indicate in their manuscript that they will share
data upon request, the compliance rate is the same as for authors who
do not provide the DAS, suggesting that the DAS may not be sufficient
to ensure data sharing.
