The document discusses a webinar focused on pre-open access data sharing, specifically addressing CGIAR's requirements and barriers to sharing data before publication. It outlines the challenges related to ambiguities in open access policies, ethical considerations, and the need for a supportive environment for data sharing. Furthermore, it suggests potential tools and templates to incentivize and operationalize data sharing among researchers.
