Open Data - Society & Author Benefits

Open Data ultimately enables better real world impact for academic research across all subject areas and disciplines which has many benefits for wider society. From driving innovation and technology to better evidenced based policy making. And even economic benefits. In addition Open Data improves not just public access to and involvement in research but, also public understanding of research and the value it provides.

Benefits for the Author: Open Data enables replication and validation of your research which in turn boosts its credibility and robustness. And satisfies funder requirements to boot. Increase the discoverability of your research by reciprocally linking your article and its related datasets. Researchers can benefit from increased credit and recognition for their outputs by sharing their research data. Which in turn may increase opportunities for collaboration even across disciplines. Plus, one 2019 study suggests that Open Data could generate up to 25% more citations.
