Open Research Data
1 like1,280 views
The document provides an overview of open research data, its definition, examples, and merits of publishing such data. It highlights that sharing detailed research data is significantly associated with increased citation rates and offers resources for finding repositories and managing data. Additionally, it references various studies and tools that assist researchers in data stewardship and compliance with funding agency policies.
![INTRODUCTION TO OPEN ACCESS
Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, described knowledge in the
following way: "He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening
mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me." In doing so,
Jefferson anticipated the modern concept of a public good.
… A public good [depends on] non-rivalrous consumption – the consumption of one individual
does not detract from that of [another]. Knowledge of a mathematical theorem clearly satisfies
[this] attributes: if I teach you the theorem, I continue to enjoy the knowledge of the theorem at
the same time that you do.

Sharing Detailed Research Data Is
Associated with Increased Citation
Rate: Principal Findings
[The study] examined the citation history
of 85 cancer microarray clinical trial
publications with respect to the
availability of their data. The 48% of
trials with publicly available microarray
data received 85% of the aggregate
citations. Publicly available data was
significantly (p = 0.006) associated with
a 69% increase in citations,
independently of journal impact factor,
date of publication, and author country
of origin using linear regression.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/openresearchdata-160107221246/85/Open-Research-Data-6-320.jpg)
