Data sharing in genomics--re-shaping scientific practice.
Kaye J., Heeney C., Hawkins N., de Vries J., Boddington P.
Funding bodies have recently introduced a requirement that data sharing must be a consideration of all funding applications in genomics. As with all new developments this condition has had an impact on scientific practice, particularly in the area of publishing and in the conduct of research. We discuss the challenges that must be addressed if the full benefits of data sharing, as envisaged by funders, are to be realized.
