Open data has been a recurring theme on the podcast - for better or worse. Every year, Digital Science and Springer Nature publish a report on the status of open science, so we thought this year's report was a good occasion to take stock and have a good discussion not only on the status of open status but also on where it's going, how and why. To help us, we invited one of the report's authors, Mark Hahnel from Digital Science, to the podcast to discuss the report titled 'Bridging Policy and Practice in Data Sharing.'We cover the importance of open data in research, the dynamics between global north and south, and the need for ethical standards and education in data practices. The discussion also touches on the enthusiasm of Ethiopian researchers for open data and the challenges of ensuring equitable access and utilisation of data across different regions. As always we cover issues of identity and security when it comes to diversity.And if you can't wait for next year's report - Mark gives us a prediction for the conclusions in the 2025 report at the end of the conversation.

Today's episode features Caroline Goldsmith, Associate Director, Charleston Hub, who talks with Dr. Mark Hahnel, VP of Open Research, Digital Science, and Founder of Figshare. Last July, to understand more about how the research world is transforming, what's influencing change and how roles are impacted, Digital Science reached out to the community through a global survey and in-depth interviews: “We need answers to pressing issues and there is a growing expectation for research to deliver. But increasing demands, tightening budgets, and lack of infrastructure can stand in the way of progress. We need solutions and many are turning to emerging technologies for support.” In this interview, Dr. Hahnel shares the key findings from this survey and the interviews in the Research Transformation Report. A video summarizing these key findings is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LoJ6FqEydTdhtEUFPUBrMfgZRG4H-Xbm/view The video of this podcast can be found here: https://youtu.be/SgYoEQ-Lq8A Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-goldsmith-94459112/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-science/posts/?feedView=all Keywords: #DigitalScience, #digital, #ResearchTransformation, #OpenResearch, #ResearchInnovation, #EmergingTechnologies, #Survey, #SurveyInsights, #AcademicResearch, #DigitalLibrarian, #DigitalLibrary, , #ResearchIntegrity, #PublishingIntegrity, #PoweringResearch, #knowledge, #awareness, #efficiency, #innovation, #awareness, #career, #partnerships, #CommunityEngagement, #collaboration, #scholcomm, #ScholarlyCommunication, #libraries, #librarianship, #LibraryNeeds, #LibraryLove, #ScholarlyPublishing, #AcademicPublishing, #publishing, #LibrariesAndPublishers, #podcasts
