I would use other researchers' datasets if their datasets were easily accessible. 561 (43.2%) 524 (40.3%) 136 (10.5%) 62 (4.8%) 16 (1.2%)
I would be willing to place at least some of my data into a central data repository with no restrictions. 539 (41.6%) 472 (36.4%) 141 (10.9%) 104 (8%) 39 (3%)
I would be willing to place all of my data into a central data repository with no restrictions. 191 (14.9%) 338 (26.3%) 234 (18.2%) 318 (24.7%) 205 (15.9%)
I would be more likely to make my data available if I could place conditions on access. 317 (24.8%) 506 (39.6%) 279 (21.8%) 107 (8.4%) 68 (5.3%)

I would be willing to share data across a broad group of researchers who use data in different ways. 476 (37%) 565 (43.9%) 185 (14.4%) 48 (3.7%) 13 (1%)
It is important that my data are cited when used by other researchers. 885 (68.6%) 298 (23.1%) 87 (6.7%) 14 (1.1%) 7 (0.5%)
It is appropriate to create new datasets from shared data. 505 (38.9%) 475 (36.6%) 261 (20.1%) 36 (2.8%) 20 (1.5%)
