Follow the Panton Principles to ensure your data is licensed and accessible for immediate reuse, says Atma Ivancevic.
In a world where scientific discovery is driven by impact factor and funding, the idea of open data may seem idealistic. But the open data movement has been growing since the early 2000s, spurred by the rise of big data and computational capabilities. For the sake of reproducibility in science, we need to encourage data sharing after publication.
