Brad Serber: thinking of the color wheel, with its opposite/paired colors, invoking controversy & opposing sides.

The most important take-away I see in this whole section on reasons for not making data electronically available is not mentioned here directly!

Here are the raw numbers for I am satisfied with my ability to integrate data from disparate sources to address research questions:

• 156 (12.2%) Agree Strongly
• 419 (32.7%) Agree Somewhat
• 363 (28.3%) Neither Agree nor Disagree
• 275 (21.5%) Disagree Somewhat
• 069 (05.4%) Disagree Strongly

Of the people who are not satisfied in some way, how many of those think current data sharing mechanisms are sufficient for their needs?

Of the ~5% of people who are strongly dissatisfied, how many of those are willing to spend time, energy, and money on new sharing mechanisms, especially ones that are not yet proven? If they are willing to do so, then what measurable result or impact will the new mechanism have over the status quo?

Who feel that current sharing mechanisms stand in the way of publications, tenure, promotion, or being cited?

Of those who are dissatisfied, how many have existing investment in infrastructure versus those who are new and will be investing versus those who cannot invest in old or new?

10 years ago how would you have convinced someone they need an iPad or Android smartphone?
