Open Access to Research Data & Data Sharing Practices
Introduction
Open access to research data and data sharing practices can help boost transparency and accountability in scientific findings
Making research data openly available is generally considered a good scientific practice. With policies mandating greater research transparency and data sharing, this practice is becoming a trend within the scientific community.
Due to the increasing importance of research data, publishers are encouraging researchers to make their data publicly available through data availability policies. However, to effectively build and manage data pipelines, it is important that better guidelines, education to manage concerns and suitable infrastructure are well in place.
