Abstract:Interest conflicts in scientific data openness represent a core challenge hindering open science.Existing studies suggest that the rights paradigm which empowers data holders often become trapped in endless debates over underlying premises.Regulatory paradigm that improves data openness through administrative intervention fails to motivate proactive sharing.Interest law paradigm shows higher potential.From the interest law perspective,internal causes of conflicts are data value generation particularities;external causes stem from failure of balancing mechanisms due to one-sided evaluation and poor law coordination.Diverse interests share the common goal of“scientific progress”,which can serve as a coordination basis.Upon it,a four-tier hierarchy of interests can be constructed:national security interests,social security interests,individual interests,and social development interests,with higher-tier interests generally taking precedence.To promote social development interests and advance scientific progress,two mechanisms for interest exchange can be designed:first,data holders complying with compliance procedures can be granted immunity from tort liability in cases such as re-identification;second,data holders making data publicly available are guaranteed moral interests such as attribution,recognition,and data integrity.These mechanisms also address the two core interest conflicts in scientific data openness,achieving a win-win outcome by avoiding the sacrifice of one party for the benefit of the other.
