Data from: A survey of researchers' needs and priorities for data sharing

In May-June 2020 PLOS surveyed researchers from Europe and North America to rate tasks associated with data sharing on (i) their importance to researchers and (ii) researchers' satisfaction with their ability to complete those tasks.
Researchers were recruited via direct email campaigns, promoted Facebook and Twitter posts, a post on the PLOS Blog, and emails to industry contacts who distributed the survey on our behalf. Participation was incentivized with 3 random prize draws, which were managed separately to maintain anonymity.

This dataset consists of:1) The survey sent to researchers (pdf).2) The anonymised data export of survey results (xlsx).
The data export has been processed to retain the anonymity of participants. The comments left in the final question of the survey (question 17) have been removed. Answers to questions 12 to 16 have been recoded to give each answer a numerical value (see 'Scores' tab of spreadsheet). The counts, means, standard deviations and confidence intervals used in the associated manuscript for each factor are given in rows 619-622.
Version 2 contains only the completed responses. Completed responses in the version 2 dataset refer to those who answered all the questions in the survey. The version 1 dataset contains a higher number of responses categorised as 'completed' but this has been reviewed for version 2.

Version 1 data was used for the preprint: https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/njr5u.

2020年5月至6月，PLOS面向欧洲与北美地区的研究者开展调研，要求研究者对与数据共享相关的各项任务完成两项评分：(i) 该类任务对研究者的重要程度；(ii) 研究者自身完成此类任务的能力满意度。

本次调研通过直邮邮件推广、Facebook与Twitter推广帖、PLOS博客推文，以及委托行业联系人转发的邮件招募受访者。调研设置3场随机抽奖作为参与激励，抽奖流程独立运作以保障参与者匿名性。

本数据集包含两部分内容：1) 面向研究者发放的调研问卷（PDF格式）；2) 匿名化处理后的调研结果导出文件（XLSX格式）。

该数据导出文件已完成匿名化处理以保护参与者隐私。调研最后一题（第17题）中的受访者留言已被移除。第12至16题的回答已被重新编码为数值（具体编码规则详见电子表格的"Scores"标签页）。相关手稿中针对各因子使用的频数、均值、标准差与置信区间已在第619至622行中列出。

版本2仅包含完整作答的有效问卷，其中“完整作答”指受访者完成了调研全部题目。版本1数据集的“完整作答”样本量更高，但版本2已对其进行了复核校验。

版本1数据曾用于该预印本：https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/njr5u。
