closeIncentives for better practice.

The authors mention in the conclusion that "...personal incentives such as data citations should be more widely used to increase the impact of a particular dataset and provide recognition or credit for data creation." I would encourage addition of some of the literature that looks into the association between open data and citation advantages, as well as the association between badges and open data as a way to reduce compliance costs. Below are studies about which I am aware:

Yes, thank you for adding citations to support these claims!
