of data, as well as the factors affecting data reusing behavior.
A series of results are concluded as follows: the research of data reuse behavior for scholars
mainly focus on reusable resource, relevance criteria, and the willingness and influencing factors
of reusing behavior. The reusable data sources mainly include formal channels such as printed
literature, discipline repositories and data documents, as well as informal channels such as
interpersonal relations and contacting authors. The essence of data assessment is data reusability
assessment, including the assessment of data quality, data trust, the quality of data document,
etc. Data assessment involves criteria derived from data itself, data producers, data reusers, data
context information and acquisition platforms, etc. Influencing factors that affect the data reuse
behavior and researchers’ willingness to data reuse involve personal factors, institutional/technical
factors, discipline/social environment factors and other relevant factors.
In different disciplines, there are situational sensitivity and domain independence of reusable
sources, data evaluation criteria, data reuse behavior and its influencing factors. Therefore, there
is no one-size-fits-all solution to understand the data reuse behavior of all disciplines, and it is
necessary to determine the needs of different stakeholders according to their disciplines and
to model the process of data reuse accordingly. It is also important to clarify the relationships
between reusability and data quality, trust and the quality of data documents, different theoretical
perspectives and multi-dimensional research methods are necessary for the empirical research on
the influence factors of scholars’ data reuse.
The limitation of this study lies in that the literature search strategy does not take into
account the retrieval terms of various Data forms in the definition of Data, and only using
“Data” as the retrieval term inevitably leaves out some Data reuse studies. However, this study
comprehensively reviewed the research of data reuse from the perspective of scholars and it
provides references for future research and scientific data management practice of library and
intelligence institutions.
