Barriers to sharing data publicly
https://ioppublishing.org/barriers-to-sharing-data-openly/
In the evolving landscape of scientific research, the sharing of data has become a cornerstone for cultivating transparency, reproducibility, and innovation. However, despite its incredible potential, sharing research data publicly remains a significant challenge for many researchers. According to analysis of our publication data, only around one in ten researchers in the physical sciences share FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data alongside their published articles.

Manuscripts of the Etymologiae
“We at the Innovating Knowledge project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) have just completed the annual update of the project’s database of the early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. This is the third update since the project’s official end in August 2021, so we are quite excited that it took place. The current database version (2.3.5) contains detailed information on 507 manuscripts (up from 496).
🔗 database: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/
📊 data (as an .xslx file): https://zenodo.org/records/13827506
ℹ️ more info on the project and its methodology: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/
This version contains not only previously unknown manuscripts, more detail on known manuscripts, and many corrections to the information in older catalogues, but also images of manuscripts that have so far not been digitized (459 images altogether), links to digitized manuscripts (400+ manuscripts), and integrated IIIF viewer to view manuscripts with IIIF manifests directly via the database interface (336 manuscripts).”
