Purpose:
Investigated the state of data sharing policies among journals, features of journals associated with strength in data policy, and whether the strength of the policy affected extent of data sharing
Method:
Identified journals that most often publish studies about gene expression microarray data and classified their policies for data sharing as none, weak, or strong; conducted univariate and linear multivariate regressions to understand the relationship between the strength of data sharing policy and journal impact factor, journal sub discipline, journal publisher (academic societies vs. commercial), and publishing model (open vs. closed access); measured through queries of PubMed how many recently published articles submitted data to the NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database
