Preparing your data for openness

Dr. Scout Calvert, University Libraries, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA.

Adopting open data practices can improve collaboration, safeguard data, and help researchers get ahead of data sharing requirements from funders and publishers. Data sharing and transparency can benefit science and increase researcher impact. But what does it take to make data genuinely open? This presentation will provide strategies for meaningfully open data, offer choices in data sharing, describe some limitations of openness, and help researchers get a jump start preparing data for openness.
