Obstacles to Data Sharing – An Outline of Recent Developments with Policy Recommendations

Marc Scheufen

The increasing networking of production processes and the ability of artificial intelligence to analyse ever larger amounts of data offer enormous potential for the German economy. To exploit this potential fully, however, data must be shared.

Digitalisation Index 2023: Digitalisation of the economy in Germany

Jan Büchel / Dennis Bakalis / Marc Scheufen

The digitalisation of the economy in Germany continues to stagnate in 2023: the digitalisation index score is 108.6 points in 2023 compared to 110.5 points in 2022. After the sharp rise in 2021, the development of digitalisation since then can be described as more of a lateral or sideways movement.

Publication cultures and the citation impact of open access

Thomas Eger / Armin Mertens / Marc Scheufen

With the advent of electronic publishing and the Internet, the traditional business model of academic publishing, based on subscription fees paid by the readers/libraries (closed access [CA] journals), has to some extent been replaced and to some extent complemented by different types of open access (OA).

An Economic Analysis: Open Data and Data Sharing

Alevtina Krotova / Armin Mertens / Marc Scheufen

Data is an important business resource. It forms the basis for various digital technologies such as artificial intelligence or smart services. However, access to data is unequally distributed in the market. Hence, some business ideas fail due to a lack of data sources.
