DATA

OPEN ACCESS

PUBLICATIONS

Open Access to publications

policies

“Publicly funded research data are a public good

(…), which should be made openly available with

as few restrictions as possible…”

http://www.rcuk.ac.uk/research/datapolicy/

Research data policies

Some funders actually check it…

Random checks on all publications from 1

May 2015 that acknowledge EPSRC +

sanctions for not sharing

But…

… let’s forget about the policies.

Why would you want to share?

Science relies on the principle that

we share our findings

Ideas and findings need to be

shared to move science forward
