Data as research output
Citable and engaged with
Web of contextual references
Narrative as supplement to data

“But taxpayers who are paying for that
research will want to see something
back. Directly – through open access
to results and data. And indirectly –
through making science work better
for all of us.
That’s why we will require open
access to all publications stemming
from EU-funded research. That’s why
we will progressively open access to
the research data, too. And why we’re
asking national funding bodies to do
the same.”
Neelie Kroes.
Vice President for the European
Commission
“The Obama Administration is committed to the proposition that citizens deserve easy
access to the results of scientific research their tax dollars have paid for. That’s why,
in a policy memorandum released today, OSTP Director John Holdren has directed
Federal agencies with more than $100M in R&D expenditures to develop plans to
make the published results of federally funded research freely available to the public
within one year of publication and requiring researchers to better account for and
manage the digital data resulting from federally funded scientific research.”

“Investigators are expected to share with other researchers, at no more than
incremental cost and within a reasonable time, the primary data, samples,
physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in
the course of work under NSF grants”

“NEH is committed to timely and rapid data distribution”

Publicly funded research data are a public good, produced in the
public interest, which should be made openly available with as few
restrictions as possible in a timely and responsible manner.

January 2015 - according to Sherpa Juliet, 34
funders required data archiving, 16 encourage it
UK funder data archiving policies
US Governmental funders mandating data
depositsEverybody needs a place
to put their data (and the
means to organize it)
1. Recommended open access to scholarly papers of
publicly funded research
2. Recommended open access to all digital outputs of
publicly funded research
3. Mandated open access to scholarly papers of publicly
funded research
4. Mandated open access to all digital outputs of publicly
funded research
5. Enforced, mandated open access to scholarly papers of
publicly funded research
6. Enforced, mandated open access to all digital outputs of
publicly funded research
The Open Academic Tidal Wave
Two approaches to data repositories
Structured
• Data is curated and standards are enforced
• Data is gathered with the aim of creating a
super-data set
• Easily machine readable
• Examples: Genbank, HEASARC
Unstructured
• All data types can be stored
• Varying degrees of curation
• Institutional, publisher, non-profit and private
offerings
• Not necessarily machine readable
• Examples: Figshare, Dryad, zenodo, Pure

Open Science ≠ Open Access
A body of work begins with an idea and
ends when the impact of that idea has
been maximized.
