Love Your Data Week Wrap Up: Respect Your Data — Give & Get Credit
Today's workshop will review best practices for citing and sharing data.
Data are becoming valued scholarly products instead of a byproduct of the research process. Federal funding agencies and publishers are encouraging, and sometimes requiring, researchers to share data that have been created with public funds. The benefit to researchers is that sharing your data can increase the impact of your work, lead to new collaborations or projects, enables verification of your published results, provides credit to you as the creator, and provides great resources for education and training. Data sharing also benefits the greater scientific community, funders,the public by encouraging scientific inquiry and debate, increases transparency, reduces the cost of duplicating data, and enables informed public policy.

Love Your Data Week (LYD) is designed to raise awareness about research data management, sharing, and preservation along with the support and resources available at George Mason. We believe research data are the foundation of the scholarly record and crucial for advancing our knowledge of the world around us.
