Google's N-gram Viewer, for example, can search a vast corpus of
texts across a long time period to identify trends in language usage.
More elaborate analytic tools such as Voyant,4 a suite of tools
for lexical analysis developed by Hermeneuti.ca (n.d.), can expand
the emphasis-through-frequency data shown in the word clouds to
indicate word association, vocabulary density, and word count for
individual documents, as well as peaks and trends in frequency and
distinctive words in individual texts within a corpus.
Because of this robust suite of analytic tools, we used Voyant to
analyze the data management plan guidance documents from NIH,
NSF, and NEH-ODH. We applied a Taporware stop words filter
provided by Voyant to eliminate commonly used words, such as
conjunctions and articles.
National Institutes of Health
In the word cloud for the Final NIH Statement on Data Sharing (fig-
ure 1), "data" and "sharing" are prominent (NIH 2003). The NIH
policy was instituted in 2003 in a research community already ac-
customed to strict guidelines for the management of their data (e.g.,
the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act [HIPAA] of
1996). Based on the emphasis illustrated in the word cloud, the NIH
policy seems to indicate an agency culture that prioritizes access to
research data within the research community served by the agency.
"Public" is not prioritized - this is not "open data" - and data shar-
ing is intended to be among researchers.

The Final NIH Statement on Sharing Research Data contains 869
(29 uses) and "sharing" (26 uses). In every instance of "sharing," the
NIH requirement seeks to foster. The frequency of the agency ab-
breviation "NIH" (16 uses) underscores the agency's authority as an
arbiter of research data practice in the community that it both serves
