Data from Dryad Integration and Accessible Data surveys

Data from survey's conducted as part of PLOS' project on incentivising best practice for data sharing. Surveys were run to assess the impact of two solutions that were being tested - the integration of the Dryad repository with the PLOS Pathogens submission system and the possible addition of an Accessible Data icon to articles in any PLOS journal using either Dryad, Figshare or OSF repositories. Submitting authors were emailed a survey shortly after completing their submission. This dataset contains the following files: 1) S1_DryadIntegration_Public.xlsx Results from the survey sent to PLOS Pathogens submitting authors about the Dryad integration. 2) Dryad Integration Survey Instrument.pdf Survey questions sent to PLOS Pathogens submitting authors. 3) S2_AccessibleDataLinks_Public.xlsx Results from the survey sent to submitting authors at PLOS Biology, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS ONE and PLOS Pathogens about the Accessible Data feature. 4) Accessible Data Survey Instrument.pdf Survey questions sent to PLOS Biology, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS ONE and PLOS Pathogens submitting authors. Note, PLOS Pathogens authors were asked to complete one survey, which comprised of both the Dryad integration and Accessible Data questions. Free text answers have been removed for the survey data for anonymisation purposes. The question on country has also been adjusted to show the author's region.
