Figure 1. Researchers value citations and download counts; most repositories track downloads but few expose them.
Researchers (n=247) indicated how they (a) share data, (b) search for data, and (c) subsequently use it. With respect to their own data, we asked what they would be most interested to know about (d) the users of the data and (e) the impact of that use. Finally, (f) data managers (n=71) reported which of these metrics their repositories track and expose. White dots show the mean on a scale of one-to-three (a,b,c), one-to-four (e), or one-to-five (d). All error bars depict 95% confidence intervals calculated by basic bootstrap with 10,000 resamplings.
