| Summary: | Initiatives for sharing research data are opportunities to increase the pace of knowledge discovery and scientific progress. The re-use of research data has the potential to avoid the duplication of data sets and to bring new views from multiple analysis of the same data set. For example, the study of genomic variations associated with cancer profits from the universal collection of such data and helps selecting the most appropriate therapy for a specific patient. However, data sharing poses challenges to the scientific community. These challenges are of ethical, cultural, legal, financial or technical nature. This article reviews the impact that data sharing has in science and society, and presents guidelines to improve the efficient sharing of research data. |
