The existing information and communication technologies have provided a platform through which researchers are able to share even the data used in their research, which may have been difficult to obtain, with other researchers and others to reuse and reanalyze. The purpose of this research is to investigate the situation of Iranian Basic Science researchers in sharing and reusing research data.

In terms of purpose, this research was applied and carried out with a quantitative approach and in a survey way. The research community was formed by researchers in the field of Basic Sciences who had articles in the Web of Science database in 2021. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire designed electronically based on the relevant literature. Sample society consisted of 309 Basic Science researchers participated in this study. SPSS software was used to analyze the data.

The results showed that more than 64 percent of researchers do not have the experience of sharing research data. Individual, cultural and behavioral, legal, and political factors affecting the sharing of research data are in a favorable situation, but organizational and technical factors are in an unfavorable situation. No difference was observed between individual, technical, cultural and political, organizational, legal and political factors with the demographic variables of the research, except in some cases in the gender variable. The researchers of this field are familiar with this concept to a great extent and a positive attitude of this concept has been formed in their minds and they have developed a desire to do it if the conditions are available. However, technically, organizationally, and structurally, the conditions are not yet available. The relevant laws, regulations and instructions have not been prepared, material and spiritual stimuli have not been created in the relevant organizations and institutions, and the hardware and software technical infrastructures and required standards have not been provided.

Despite the fact that there is a positive attitude among Basic Science researchers for sharing and reusing research data, it is not technically and organizationally possible to realize it; Therefore, formal and informal working groups should be created among researchers and they should work in the field of raising awareness about sharing research data and related matters, educational campaigns should be created in order to create a culture of data sharing in scientific and academic centers, conferences and awareness sessions on the benefits of sharing research data and requirements for its implementation should be held for managers and related officials in scientific and research centers of the country, necessary hardware and software technical infrastructures should be created in scientific databases and organizational repositories to facilitate storage and long-term protection of data, how to use the existing systems to share research data with various methods and continuously should be taught, the rules and regulations of sharing research data as well as their reuse should be formulated in compliance with research ethics, and various material incentives should be considered for researchers who share their research data.

The development of information and communication technologies has made it possible to reuse the research data of researchers in conducting new studies. Data sharing occurs when scientists make their data available for use by other researchers to conduct research or other research activities. The current research aimed to investigate the status of research data sharing among researchers in Iran in the technical and engineering fields from the individual, organizational and technical dimensions.

This research was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive survey in terms of the data collection method. The research population consisted of Iranian researchers in the field of engineering in Iran who had scientific production in the WOS database in 2021. Due to the lack of email registration of all the authors, it was not possible to accurately estimate the statistical population. Therefore, to determine the statistical sample using Cochran's formula, 411 people were randomly selected from the population. The data collection tool was a questionnaire designed electronically and sent to the statistical sample. SPSS software was used to analyze the findings.

The results showed that organizational and technical factors have a significant effect on the individual's behavior in sharing research data. Technical factors had a greater impact on individual behavior than organizational factors. Individual factors had no significant effect on data-sharing behavior. Also, the relationship between hidden technical and organizational factors was positive and significant. In addition, the findings showed that gender has a significant effect on individual factors and researchers' job has a significant effect on organizational factors. There was no significant difference between demographic variables including age, work experience, academic rank and degree, and technical, organizational, and individual factors. In addition, the research results showed that many researchers consider the concern about the time-consuming nature of data, misusing, and misinterpreting shared data as reasons for not wanting to share research data. Despite the requirement for the researchers in this field to deliver the research data and the relative provision of hardware and infrastructure facilities to implement this, the appropriate training courses for training management and data sharing are not conducted by the organizations.There was no adequate financial or intellectual support, and no proper infrastructure for sharing data in publications. Technical factors affecting the sharing of research data, such as the familiarity and use of metadata standards for data sharing and accessibility, as well as the familiarity and use of thematic, public, and organizational repositories were in an unfavorable situation.

Considering the research results and the research data sharing and related factors among the researchers in the field of engineering and technology have been neglected, it is necessary for the research stakeholders in the field of technology and engineering to receive appropriate organizational, technical and financial support in order to increase knowledge and willingness of researchers to share data. Furthermore, creating culture-building and understanding the capabilities of research data is also required to provide the necessary training to researchers in the field of engineering.

Advances in information and communication technologies have facilitated the research and production of large volumes of data, and this has led to a new paradigm in scientific research called the fourth paradigm of science. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the status of research data sharing among researchers at Kerman University of Medical Sciences.

This study is a descriptive survey research. The study population consisted of all faculty members of Kerman University of Medical Sciences with 521 members. The sample size was estimated 220 using Cochran formula.  Data collection tool was a researcher-built questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to calculate the reliability of different parts of questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation.

The status of research data sharing in terms of human factors with an average of 3.67 is in relatively desirable condition. Among the human factor variables, the factor of understanding the importance and necessity of data sharing with an average of 4.21 is in a better position than other items. Also, the status of research data sharing of technical factors with an average of 2.58 and in terms of organizational factors with an average of 2.35 is in a relatively desirable condition.Among the items of organizational factors, respectively, holding training courses, support of senior managers of the organization, standards and regulations, the existence of a special program for data sharing and communication channels between researchers are in an unfavorable condition. Also, the sharing of research data in terms of legal factors with an average of 2.36 is relatively desirable. Legal frameworks, control of data access, and the organization's obligation to share data in research projects are in poor condition. Cultural factors related to data sharing, with an average of 3.95 are in good condition. Among the items of this dimension, only two items of incentive and motivation mechanisms and reducing unsound competition are in a relatively desirable condition.

The results indicated that Data management programs will enable communication with the areas of production, organization, management and preparation of specialized medical data, providing a sharing process for future exploitation. Encouraging the culture of data sharing, holding training courses, designing data sharing agreements, protecting privacy and data confidentiality, financial support, and strengthening the technology infrastructure are among the suggestions of this research.
