  text: '<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The Open Science movement is gaining
    tremendous popularity and tries to initiate changes in science, for example the
    sharing and reuse of data. The new requirements that come with Open Science poses
    researchers with several challenges. While most of these challenges have already
    been addressed in several studies, little attention has been paid so far to the
    underlying Open Science practices (OSP). An exploratory study was conducted focusing
    on the OSP relating to sharing and using data. 13 researchers from the Weizenbaum
    Institute were interviewed. The Weizenbaum Institute is an interdisciplinary research
    institute in Germany that was founded in 2017. To reconstruct OSP a grounded theory
    methodology (Strauss in Qualitative Analysis for Social Scientists, Cambridge
    University Press, Cambridge, 1987) was used and classified OSP into open production,
    open distribution and open consumption (Smith in Openness as social praxis. First
    Monday, 2017). The research shows that apart from the disciplinary background
    and research environment, the methodological approach and the type of research
    data play a major role in the context of OSP. The interviewees’ self-attributions
    related to the types of data they work with: qualitative, quantitative, social
    media and source code. With regard to the methodological approach and type of
    data, it was uncovered that uncertainties and missing knowledge, data protection,
    competitive disadvantages, vulnerability and costs are the main reasons for the
    lack of openness. The analyses further revealed that knowledge and established
    data infrastructures as well as competitive advantages act as drivers for openness.
    Because of the link between research data and OSP, the authors of this paper argue
    that in order to promote OSP, the methodological approach and the type of research
    data must also be considered.</jats:p>'
