?? Should open data sharing be rewarded at all? What can be the consequences? Our special session, ‘Carrots and Sticks in the Evaluation of (Open) Data Sharing’ has been accepted at the 29th Annual International Conference on Science and Technology Indicators (STI ENID) to take place next 3-5 September 2025 at the University of Bristol, UK. In our session, we seek to foster a debate on whether (open) data sharing should be rewarded and reflect on its consequences. https://lnkd.in/eFseDWwN We (Inma Aleixos Borrás, Julia Olmos Pe?uela, Nicolas Robinson-Garcia) look forward to receiving unpublished research papers presenting the quantitative, qualitative or mixed methods applied as well as preliminary or final findings of a study that addresses one of the following issues: ? (i)???????????????????the identification of (supra)national governments’ and funding institutions’ evaluation approaches of (open) data sharing through rewards or penalties, (ii)??????????????????the examination of the type of quantitative and qualitative indicators or control mechanisms that are being used for these evaluations, and what these indicators or control mechanisms represent. In other words, how FAIR data, data reproducibility and reusability, quality and quantity of data sets, etc. are represented in these indicators or control mechanisms, (iii)?????????????????the analysis of how these rewards and penalties are shaping researchers’ data sharing practices, and (iv)?????????????????what type of consequences these evaluation approaches might have for researchers in terms of equity in career assessment within the same research discipline.
