In our digital era, scientists are certainly sharing and reusing open data. Yet it remains unclear how widespread data reuse and citation practices are within academic disciplines, and why scientists cite—or do not cite—data in their research work.

Our lab is growing! In our Three Questions series, we’re profiling each of our members and the amazing work they’re doing. This week’s post highlights Marc-André Simard, a doctoral student in Information Science at the University of Montreal and member of the ScholCommLab. In this post, he shares his thoughts on work in the lab, the global use of open access literature, and stepping out of his comfort zones.

This September, the 26th International Conference on Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (STI 2022) was held in Granada, Spain and the ScholCommLab left its mark at the first in-person edition of the conference since the COVID-19 pandemic.

From data sharing mandates to clinical trial registration, Open Science (OS) policies for biomedical research are in no short supply. But ensuring those policies become real-world practices can be a challenge—particularly when there’s no simple way to measure success.
