It is essential that others can see the source data in order to be able to replicate the study and analyze the data, as well as in some circumstances, reuse it.
But, what’s in it for you?
Boost the credibility of your research
Open data enables replication and validation of your research, which in turn boosts its credibility and robustness. By sharing your data openly, your entire research project becomes more transparent.
Enhance the visibility of your research
Increase the discoverability of your research by reciprocally linking your article and its related datasets. Plus describing your data with rich, meaningful, machine-readable metadata makes it easy for humans and computers to find use.
