Sharing, preservation and licensing: Sharing your research data

Research data are viewed by many research funders as a public good which should be openly available to the academic community and preserved for future re-use.

There are a number of reasons why you may not wish or be able to share your research data, not all of which may be overcome.

However, working through these issues and challenges when developing your data management plan at the beginning of your project will enable you to determine whether you can or should share your data.

Where it is possible or permissible to share your research data there are significant benefits to be gained.
