On June 17th, BMC brought together authors, editors, publishers, librarians and funders under the Publishing Open Data Working Group to investigate the potential for developing widely-agreeable and transferable guidelines, processes and policies enabling reproducible and open data in the life sciences. "So rather than ‘why share data?’, the question now is ‘how?’", writes Iain Hrynaszkiewicz of BMC.
A detailed summary is now available, including mutually agreeable ways forward on all three of the meeting’s proposed goals. The next steps for the stakeholders also include to work together:
- to identify more areas of science where there are no obvious places and formats to store data, for example by reviewing resources such the BioSharing list of data standards;
- to include institutions to the BioSharing list of data sharing policies.
