Data Sharing Practices in the MRC Circadian Mental Health Network.

This dataset supports the research conducted within the MRC Circadian Mental Health Network which assesses data sharing practices among Principal Investigators' publications in 2023. This work aims to identify trends, challenges, and inform future recommendations and policies based on the findings. The dataset includes various files that detail the methodology, data collected, and analyses performed.

Repository Contents:
