Sharing digitized research‐related information on the World Wide Web

Abstract

Five‐hundred twenty‐seven full bibliographic records containing URLs were downloaded from SCISEARCH as part of an exploration of the extent of Web publication of electronic research‐related information (E‐RRI) in the sciences and classified as to resource type, subject area, and degree of intellectual property protection. Four hundred eighty‐five records represented nonduplicate descriptions of data compilations (194), software (153), Websites (73), electronic documents (49), and digitized images (17). The greatest concentration of E‐RRI was found in molecular biology (QP=123), general natural history and biology (QH=84), and medicine (R=74). Roughly two‐thirds of the 410 accessible Webpages (67%) permitted totally free and unrestricted public access and use of the information; 11% requested citation of a related journal article as acknowledgment of use; the remainder stated conditions for use or relied on a statement of copyright as an indication of ownership. The World Wide Web appears to have become a significant channel for scientists to distribute databases, software, and other information related to their published research.
