ACS Publications Webinar on October 7
The barrier-free sharing of research data is one of the cornerstones of open science, providing extra transparency to research outputs and aiding reproducibility. Significant investments continue to be made in data sharing infrastructure, and research funders are increasingly requiring authors to make the data underlying their research publicly available at the same time their results are published. However, given the wide variety of data types collected through scientific research, and the significant size of certain data sets, questions still remain about how and where this level of access can be achieved.
This webinar will bring together a variety of experts who are engaging with the logistics and infrastructure of data sharing to discuss current and future policies, the current landscape of data repositories, and steps that are being taken to realize immediate and free access to research data.
