Zusammenfassung
Despite the increasing awareness of Open Science within the educational technology community, conferences, such as DELFI, do not yet foster the publication of research data including software. To address this, we conducted a survey eliciting the community’s needs, perspectives, and publication preferences. The analysis of 24 valid responses reveals a variety of research data formats used, and several uncertainties, e. g., regarding data ownership. Associated barriers comprise legal concerns and lacking resources to publish data. Nonetheless, researchers seem open for new publication formats. Moreover, we analyzed author’s intentions to publish data related to their DELFI submissions in 2023 (n=66). Many researchers assume not to have data to share (n=28), or no intention to publish data in the future (n=16). Overall, the results imply a lack of awareness and recognition of data publications, so that further efforts and incentives are required to move toward Open Science practices in the DELFI community.
