Module 7: Data Sharing and Reuse
This module will discuss the data landscape and vast majority of data sources/tools/software available for working collaboratively and sharing data. We'll describe the tools that are going to be available to help foster the collaboration in the research community. We'll also identify and think about the policies that are out there to make your data accessible to others, and discuss how to select the most appropriate repository for sharing that data.
Learning Objectives
- Describe tools available to foster collaboration and sharing of resources
- Identify mechanisms to make your software code and/or data citable and sharable
- Explain distinctions among open access/open science/open data
- Identify policies for making your data accessible to others
- Select an appropriate repository for sharing your data
- Describe measures that can help track the impact of your
research data
