Abstract

This article is a summary of the different pathways to publish research data, of metrics for evaluating publishing and reuse, and of the existing services for measuring the reuse of research data. It is not yet possible to accurately analyze the metrics for open research data and this is one of the reasons why, in general, researchers do not include them in the assessment of their work. In order to further the use of these tools, it is necessary to increase the number of studies about these evaluation metrics.
