The document outlines a comprehensive workflow for data discovery, sharing, and reuse within research, particularly in the field of cancer biology. It highlights the stages including data discovery, collaboration, curation, publication, showcasing, reporting, and tracking, alongside the integration with various data repositories and compliance with funding policies. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of FAIR data principles and the role of tools like Mendeley Data in facilitating research data management.
