Abstract

Data literacy and data management have received growing attention in the past years, with open access and data sharing plans as a focus point. The study is part of an international research and the same questionnaire was used by all countries. The focus here is on data practices, collaboration and data sharing among academics at the University of Iceland. Response rate was 15%. Collaborating and sharing data with others was found to be a normal practice in the academics’ work. This was done within a rather closed circle of researchers, whom they knew. Thus, their relationship is built on trust that has developed through the collaboration and partnership and it may be assumed that this forms the basis for data sharing. Offering open access to data to everyone was rare. Legal and ethical issues were the main causes of concern for sharing data but other reasons were also identified.
