Abstract

This study aims to investigate the awareness and experiences of domestic researchers regarding data publishing, which has been recognized as a new channel of data sharing as scholarly communication evolves in the open science environment. A survey is conducted among researchers from five government-funded research institutes in the field of science and technology and members of the GeoAI Data Society to confirm the awareness of data publishing. As a result of the study, domestic researchers recognized providing explanations for data, stable access to data, citation, and quality assurance through peer review as the advantages of data journals. On the contrary, a low level of recognition for data paper as one of the research outputs was presented. With regard to the properties of data publication, the respondents answered that the data description, metadata description, and permanent identifiers are highly related, however, their recognition of the relation between the properties of data publication and the data submission to a repository and data peer review was relatively low. Finally, to expand the data publication, the need for the development of an editorial system that supports data paper peer review and cross-linking to a data repository as well as the development of a repository that supports data citation was identified. This study on the domestic researchers' experience and awareness of data publishing can provide insights for the implementation of data publishing services and infrastructure in the future.

본 연구는 오픈사이언스 연구환경 변화가 가속화되면서 데이터 공유의 새로운 채널로 인정받고 있는 데이터 출판에 대한 국내 연구자의 경험과 인식을 조사하고자 수행되었다. 문헌조사와 국내 과학기술분야 5개 정부출연연구기관 연구자와 GeoAI 데이터학회 회원을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 데이터 출판에 대한 인식 정도를 측정하였다. 연구결과, 국내 연구자들은 데이터에 대한 설명제공, 데이터로의 안정적 접근, 인용, 동료심사를 통한 품질확인을 데이터 저널의 장점으로 인식하였으나, 연구실적으로써의 데이터 논문 인정에는 낮은 인식수준을 보였다. 또한 데이터 상세설명, 메타데이터 기술, 영구식별기호 부여 순으로 데이터 출판 속성을 인식하고 있었으나 리포지터리에 데이터 제출과 동료심사에 대해서는 상대적으로 낮았다. 데이터 출판 촉진 요인으로 데이터 논문작성과 리포지터리 연계를 지원하는 투고심사시스템 개발과 데이터 인용을 지원하는 리포지터리 개발의 필요성이 확인되었다. 국내 연구자들의 데이터 출판 경험과 인식은 향후 데이터 출판 서비스와 인프라 구축을 위한 중요한 기초가 될 것이다.
