Flowchart of screening steps to determine the data availability status of articles published in 2021 by researchers from the Charité –Universitätsmedizin Berlin.
Numbers in beige boxes indicate the number of articles screened at the respective stage which complied with the criterion in question. The number referring to “stop extraction” includes articles with restricted-access datasets. These were not “open data” in the full sense, but counted as such for our incentivization scheme. The labelling “unsure” is for illustrative purposes only. Where compliance with a criterion was assessed as “unsure” by an individual rater, the extraction continued, but the overall reconciled assessment was always either “yes” or “no”.
