Abstract:

\[Purpose/Significance\] This study summarizes previous studies of data reuse to understand the current status of scientific data reuse and the influencing factors of researchers' willingness to reuse scientific data. \[Design/Methodology\] Based on the characteristics of scientific data reuse, this study investigated more than 500 researchers and used the structural equation model to study the influencing factors of scientific researchers' willingness to reuse scientific data. \[Findings/Conclusion\] Results show that the reused data quality, data sources, the background of researchers and data reusing rules respectively have positive impacts on the willingness and satisfaction of scientific data reuse. Among them, the reused data quality has a positive impact on the continuous reuse of scientific data. The reused data sources, the background of researches and the data reusing rules could indirectly influence the willingness of continuous reuse positively. \[Originality/Value\] Based on the research results and current status of scientific data reuse, this study proposed corresponding suggestions for the promotion of scientific data reuse.
