This study looks at how faculty, primarily in the sciences and social
sciences, view computer code and data submission requirements from journal
publishers, repositories, funding sources, peer review and other sources.
The study gives detailed data on the percentage of faculty that submit
code, how much they submit, and whether they think submission requirements
are too stringent or not stringent enough.
Just a few of this 52-page report’s many findings are that:
• More than 38% of faculty at research universities in the sample generated
such code or instruction sets.
• The key variable in code submissions with journal articles was personal
age. The younger the scholar, the higher percentage of code that was
actually submitted with an article.
• A plurality of 44.54% of scholars felt that no changes were needed in
the data submission requirements of peer review, journal publishers,
funding sources, repositories and other sources occasionally requiring code
or data from scholars.
• Data in the report was derived from a survey drawing 339 responses from
faculty from 100 colleges and universities in the USA; it was conducted
from November 2023 to February 2024.
• Data is broken out by variables related to the institutional affiliation
of the survey participants (enrollment size, public/private status) as well
as personal characteristics such as age, gender and academic field.
