DIAZ FRAGOSO, Omar; RIQUELME ALCANTAR, Gabriela María Luisa  and  RIVERA GONZALEZ, Gibrán. Sharing research data: Reflections from Robert K. Merton’sethosof science. Cienc. ergo-sum [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.1, e147.  Epub Aug 22, 2022. ISSN 2395-8782.  https://doi.org/10.30878/ces.v29n1a3.

Scientists’ interest in sharing research data based on Robert K. Merton’s ethos of science is analyzed. Thirty scientific documents from Scopus and Web of Science citation indexes were reviewed. The interpretative analysis of the content was done with the ATLAS. ti software. Among the findings, several factors associated with scientists’ refusal to share data in science stand out. Other positions were also found that promote awareness in favor of distributing them, since the common good is above private interests. Finally, it is verified that the ethos of science is an appropriate proposal to analyze the interest of researchers in the distribution of research data.

Keywords : Data sharing; research data; ethos of science; norms of science; Robert K. Merton.
