As the open research movement continues to gather pace, a number of publishers, funders, and institutions are mandating the sharing of underlying research data. At the same time, concerns about introducing extra quality control steps around data availability statements (DAS) are driving a discussion about the best way to make data more open without slowing down publication. This article describes a pilot project to introduce a new Open Data policy to three IOP Publishing (IOPP) journals as part of IOPP's commitment to increasing transparency and support for open science. An investigation was undertaken using an automated workflow monitoring tool to understand the impact of this change on authors and the editorial staff. Changes in revised submission processing times and how often manuscripts were returned to the author were measured. An overall increase in the time editorial staff spent processing manuscripts was found as well as an increase in the number of times manuscripts were returned to authors. Detailed analysis shows that manuscripts in which authors claim in the DAS to have included data within the manuscript were the most strongly affected. Steps to mitigate the effects through improved author communication were found to be effective.

为 IOP Publishing 的期刊引入数据可用性政策：衡量对作者和编辑团队的影响

随着开放研究运动的步伐不断加快，许多出版商、资助者和机构都要求共享基础研究数据。与此同时，对围绕数据可用性声明 (DAS) 引入额外质量控制步骤的担忧正在推动关于在不减慢发表速度的情况下使数据更加开放的最佳方法的讨论。本文介绍了一个试点项目，该项目将新的开放数据政策引入三个 IOP 出版 (IOPP) 期刊，作为 IOPP 致力于提高透明度和支持开放科学的承诺的一部分。使用自动化工作流程监控工具进行了一项调查，以了解这一变化对作者和编辑人员的影响。对修改后的提交处理时间的变化以及手稿返回给作者的频率进行了测量。发现编辑人员处理手稿的时间总体增加，手稿返还给作者的次数也有所增加。详细分析表明，作者在 DAS 中声称在手稿中包含数据的手稿受到的影响最大。发现通过改进作者沟通来减轻影响的步骤是有效的。
