• Abstract summary: Open Government Data (OGD) plays a pivotal role in fostering data-driven innovation and sustainability across various sectors. Despite its potential, many public organizations are reluctant to share their data openly. This study develops an Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) model tailored to OGD that allows identifying predictors of resistance among public agencies.

• Abstract: Open Government Data (OGD) plays a pivotal role in fostering data-driven innovation and sustainability across various sectors. Despite its potential, many public organizations are reluctant to share their data openly. While existing research has explored factors impacting the public organizations intention to share OGD, there is a paucity of research applying theoretical models to investigate the resistance by public organizations to making government data publicly available. This study addresses the gap by developing an Innovation Resistance Theory (IRT) model tailored to OGD that allows identifying predictors of resistance among public agencies. We develop an initial model based on literature and refine it through interviews with 21 public agencies across six countries. The final model describes 39 barriers related to usage, value, risks, tradition, and image. The findings contribute to the literature by adapting IRT to the context of OGD, an area where its application has been notably limited. As such, this study addresses the growing demand for novel theoretical frameworks to examine OGD adoption barriers. Practical insights are provided to support policymakers in creating data ecosystems that encourage data openness and address challenges in OGD adoption.

  The use of the open innovation paradigm has been, over the past years, getting special attention in the public sector. It was possible to verify that the use of this paradigm started to be reported with a higher frequency in the literature since 2013. It was also possible to verify that the use of open innovation through social media was one of the pioneer techniques of engagement between the public sector and citizens.

Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

  Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) decision-makers often need to have a clear vision of what is researched and by whom to design effective policies. A major challenge to be faced in this context is the difficulty in accessing the relevant data and in combining information coming from different sources. Here, we present a proof-of-concept study of the use of Open Resources to map the research landscape on the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13-Climate Action, for an entire country, Denmark, and we map it on the 25 ERC panels.
