Influencing factors of data paper submission behavior of researchers in natural sciences in China
[Purposes]This study aims to refine the influencing factors of the data paper submission behavior of researchers in the field of natural sciences in China,reveal the internal logic of the submission behavior,and put forward corresponding suggestions.[Methods]Via semi-structured interviews to collect data and based on the theory of planned behavior and the technology acceptance model,we extracted the influencing factors of data paper submission behavior and constructed a preliminary model of influencing factors.[Findings]At the individual level,perceived cost has a negative impact on data paper submission attitudes,while perceived risk affects both submission attitudes and intentions.Researchers tend to amplify submission risks.At the technical level,perceived usefulness has a positive effect on both attitudes and intentions,and researchers'data paper submission behaviors demonstrate initiative in responding to academic communication and a sense of researcher identity.At the social level,subjective norms have a positive effect on attitudes toward data paper submission,and peer advice and the atmosphere of the academic field can serve as incentives for submission.Perceived behavioral control positively affects the intention to submit data papers.Policies and regulations of the funding agency or the researcher's institution and scientific and technical journals can significantly promote the submission behavior.[Conclusions]To promote the occurrence of data paper submission behavior of researchers,strategies should be formulated in terms of reducing the perceived risk,improving the perceived behavioral control,perceived usefulness,and subjective norms,such as utilizing the influence of community,enhancing incentives for publishing data papers,developing and improving the legal system of data publishing,and establishing an evaluation mechanism for data citation.
