CDL Services and the Research Cycle
Sharing your data is good for science
reproducibility integrity
enables collaboration and synergy
minimizes needless duplication of effort

“Papers with publicly available microarray data received
more citations than similar papers that did not make their
data available, even after controlling for many variables
known to influence citation rate”
Sharing your data is good for scientists
get credit for your work
higher impact factor
… and you have to(and should want to)
funders (are starting to)
require it
journals require it
disciplinary best practice (increasingly) expects it
“To do otherwise should come to be regarded as scientific malpractice”
– Royal Society, 2014
