Dear Reader,

Data sharing is encouraged within the scientific community, and federal guidelines such as the Nelson memo further expand this practice. However, making research data publicly available requires a great deal of time, effort, and expertise.

These are challenges that librarians and publishers, as experts in working with data and navigating copyright issues, can help researchers solve.

The publishing platform F1000, from Taylor & Francis, makes tools available to help researchers store and share their data while also keeping this information secure. And F1000's flagship publishing venue, F1000Research, has clear and helpful data guidelines for researchers.

Read on below to find out more about sharing your data openly, the benefits of open data, and how you can access expert guidance on collecting, storing, formatting, sharing, and publishing your data.

Benefits of open data

•

Increases citations: research shows that articles with links to datasets shared in repositories generated up to 25% more citations than articles that did not share data in repositories

•

Enhances the credibility of your work: when the data supporting your findings is openly available, others can replicate your work to validate your results and conclusions

•

Supports reproducibility: open data enhances research rigor by making it easier for others to validate, replicate, and reproduce your findings

•

Preserves data more securely over time: data hosted on a repository is more secure than data hosted on a website or personal files

•

Fosters trust in research: transparency and accountability help to foster public trust in the research process and results.
