This issue, envisioned and nurtured by Aditya Johri (George Mason University) and Mihaela Vorvoreanu and Krishna Madhavan (Purdue University) focuses on the need to share data among the greater research community. The issue consists of eight invited papers plus a study by the guest editors. While sharing data intuitively makes sense, as the papers point out, it has not always happened, and among engineering education researchers, there is much catching up to do compared to other scientific fields. However, we are at a point in time, where the potential for sharing has never been better, with calls for “open source” data from both the funding agencies and a growing number of researchers.
In developing this issue, Johri, Vorvoreanu and Madhavan have reached out to colleagues across a wide spectrum of fields, including engineering, to present case studies on data sharing as guides for the engineering education research community. The content of these articles is summarized in their guest editorial….
