Data is central to scholarly research, but the nature and location of data used is often under-reported in research publications. Greater transparency and citation of data have positive effects for the culture of research. This article presents the results of a survey of data citation in six years of articles published in the journal GESTURE (12.1-17.2). Gesture researchers draw on a broad range of data types, but the source and location of data are often not disclosed in publications. There is also still a strong research focus on only a small range of the world’s languages and their linguistic diversity. Published papers rarely cite back to the primary data, unless it is already published. We discuss both the implications of these findings and the ways that scholars in the field of gesture studies can build a positive culture around open data.

Gesture 期刊中的数据透明度和引用

数据是学术研究的核心，但所用数据的性质和位置在研究出版物中经常被低估。更高的透明度和数据引用对研究文化有积极影响。本文介绍了在 GESTURE (12.1-17.2) 杂志上发表的六年文章中数据引用调查的结果。手势研究人员利用了广泛的数据类型，但数据的来源和位置通常不会在出版物中披露。仍然有一个强大的研究重点只关注世界上一小部分语言及其语言多样性。已发表的论文很少引用原始数据，除非它已经发表。我们讨论了这些发现的含义以及手势研究领域的学者可以围绕开放数据建立积极文化的方式。
