<p>Data from survey's conducted as part of PLOS' project on incentivising best practice for data sharing. Surveys were run to assess the impact of two solutions that were being tested - the integration of the Dryad repository with the <em>PLOS Pathogens</em> submission system and the possible addition of an Accessible Data icon to articles in any PLOS journal using either Dryad, Figshare or OSF repositories. Submitting authors were emailed a survey shortly after completing their submission.</p>
<p>This dataset contains the following files:</p>
<p>1) <strong>S1_DryadIntegration_Public.xlsx</strong></p>
<p>Results from the survey sent to <em>PLOS Pathogens</em> submitting authors about the Dryad integration.</p>
<p>2) <strong>Dryad Integration Survey Instrument.pdf </strong></p>
<p>Survey questions sent to <em>PLOS Pathogens</em> submitting authors.</p>
<p>3) <strong>S2_AccessibleDataLinks_Public.xlsx</strong></p>
<p>Results from the survey sent to submitting authors at <em>PLOS Biology, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS ONE and PLOS Pathogens</em> about the Accessible Data feature.</p>
<p>4) <strong>Accessible Data Survey Instrument.pdf </strong></p>
<p>Survey questions sent to <em>PLOS Biology, PLOS Computational Biology, PLOS Genetics, PLOS Medicine, PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, PLOS ONE and PLOS Pathogens </em>submitting authors.</p>
<p>Note, <em>PLOS Pathogens</em> authors were asked to complete one survey, which comprised of both the Dryad integration and Accessible Data questions.</p>
<p>Free text answers have been removed for the survey data for anonymisation purposes. The question on country has also been adjusted to show the author's region.</p>
