This document discusses several key aspects of effective data management and open access to research outputs. It notes that repositories, APIs, data citations, and open access policies are essential to enable easy reuse and verification of data. Common objections to open data practices, such as risk of being scooped, are addressed. The benefits of data sharing are outlined, including enabling verification and tracking impact. Effective tools and infrastructure are needed to support open data practices, including repositories, APIs, reporting dashboards, and curation workflows.

“The Obama Administration is committed to the proposition that citizens deserve easy access to
the results of scientific research their tax dollars have paid for.That’s why, in a policy memorandum
released today, OSTP Director John Holdren has directed Federal agencies with more than $100M
in R&D expenditures to develop plans to make the published results of federally funded
research freely available to the public within one year of publication and requiring
researchers to better account for and manage the digital data resulting from federally
funded scientific research.”
