MapOSR - A Mapping Review Dataset of Empirical Studies on Open Science (Updated)

Research that investigates respective researchers’ engagement in Open Science varies widely in the topics addressed, methods employed, and disciplines investigated, which makes it difficult to integrate and compare its results. To investigate current outcomes of Open Science research, and to get a better understanding on topicswell-researched and on research gaps we aim at providing an openly accessible overview of empirical studies that focus on different aspects of Open Science in different scientific disciplines, academic groups and geographical regions. The present data set of studies about Open Science practices was retrieved following a PRISM approach to compile a literature review. We include studies from the Scopus and Web of Science databases with keywords relating to Open Science between the years 2000 and 2020, as well as a snowball search for relevant articles. Studies that did not investigate any aspect of Open Science, or weren’t peer reviewed were excluded, resulting in a total of 695 remaining studies. The data set was collaboratively annotated to ensure intercoder reliability of the coded data. This version replaces Version mapOSR_data_V5_9_3_220419_coded_clean.csv as it contains less information with potential copyright conflicts. In addition, the data now has harmonised punctuation in the author column and partially cleaned author names (checked for duplicates and minor misspellings and added name information where missing). The datasheet contains 100 entries without DOIs and some ISSNs are different for the same source title.
