Normalizing Data (sharing)
Introducing Five Essential Factors, our latest white paper. Over the past two years, we've heard from more than 11,000 researchers about their views on data sharing, what they do in practice and the challenges they face. Building on that understanding, today we have released a whitepaper which proposes five key factors to make data management and sharing "business as usual" for all researchers.
FAIRsharing As a Community Approach to Standards, Repositories and Policies
Community-developed standards, such as those for the identification, citation and reporting of data, underpin reproducible and reusable research, aid scholarly publishing, and drive both the discovery and the evolution of scientific practice.

Ten Principles for Machine-Actionable Data Management Plans
Data management plans can have thematic, machine-actionable richness with added value for all stakeholders: researchers, funders, repository managers, research administrators, data librarians, and others.
Implementing Publisher Policies that Inform, Support and Encourage Authors to Share Data
Implementing Publisher Policies that Inform, Support and Encourage Authors to Share Data
Open research data is one of the key areas in the expanding open scholarship movement. Scholarly journals and publishers find themselves at the heart of the shift towards openness. In this article we present two case studies which examine the experiences of Taylor & Francis and Springer Nature rolling out data-sharing policies.
The Time Efficiency Gain in Sharing and Reuse of Research Data
Sharing research data can cause an efficiency revenue for the scientific community. However, this is not a given in all modeled scenarios.

Data Sharing: Better for Everyone, Especially You!! | PLOS Biologue
Happy Open Data Day 2019! It's that special day of the year again! Well, every day should be Open Data Day, but today lots of motivated folk come together around the world to remind us all why Open Data, Open Science, and sharing of data and science in general is better for everyone. Better for reuse, better for tracking public money flows, better for open mapping and development, and also, lest we lost sight, better for the researcher who produced the data! Why better for the researchers who generated the data? Better because the value add from sharing is multifold. Others can reuse and reanalyse your data. If you've placed the data in a repository with a persistent identifier, you'll get attributed when they are reused and you can get credit for this - and even citations. What may not be immediately obvious is that taking a little bit of time to ensure your data are 'sharable' is good practise that ensures that when you want to use

Europe Wrestles with a Plan to Build the 'Amazon of Science'
The European Open Science Cloud is a giant effort to provide a single point of access to all scientific data. But getting all the infrastructures to integrate and engendering a culture of sharing is a daunting task, say those involved in its creation.
Toward Unrestricted Use of Public Genomic Data
Despite some notable progress in data sharing policies and practices, restrictions are still often placed on the open and unconditional use of various genomic data after they have received official approval for release to the public domain or to public databases.

Tracking the Popularity and Outcomes of All BioRxiv Preprints
Though the popularity and practical benefits of preprints are driving policy changes at journals and funding organizations, there is little bibliometric data available to measure trends in their usage. This study collected and analyzed data on all preprints that were uploaded to bioRxiv.org in the past five years.
