<p>Data sharing describes the process of making research data available for reuse. The availability of research data is the basis of transparent, effective research systems that democratise access to knowledge and advance discovery. Despite a broad recognition of the value of data sharing across the sector, many researchers are not yet engaging meaningfully with data sharing behaviours. Through a behavioural lens, this study aims to identify the barriers and enablers to data sharing experienced by researchers working at a UK university. Data will be collected using a theoretically-informed 26-item interview schedule (COM-B model: Capability, Opportunity, Motivation – Behaviour; TDF: Theoretical Domains Framework). [SAMPLE SIZE TO BE ADDED AT STAGE 2] participants, across a range of career levels and disciplines, will be recruited to take part in semi-structured interviews focused on data sharing behaviours and their influences. Transcripts will be analysed using thematic template analysis based on the COM-B constructs and TDF domains. [A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS AND IMPLICATIONS WILL BE ADDED AT STAGE 2].</p>

No need for them to be recommenders of PCI Registered Reports. Please do not suggest reviewers for whom there might be a conflict of interest. Reviewers are not allowed to review preprints written by close colleagues (with whom they have published in the last four years, with whom they have received joint funding in the last four years, or with whom they are currently writing a manuscript, or submitting a grant proposal), or by family members, friends, or anyone for whom bias might affect the nature of the review - see the code of conduct
