Measuring research data reuse in scholarly publications using generative artificial intelligence: Open Science Indicator development and preliminary results
Researchers have developed a new indicator using large language models (LLMs) to measure the reuse of research data in scholarly publications. This AI-driven approach revealed a data reuse rate of 43%, surpassing traditional bibliometric methods. The findings suggest that the positive impacts of research data sharing and reuse may be currently underestimated, and that LLMs can effectively measure these effects at scale. AI
