New Us Rules On Sharing Healthcare Research Data Are A Giant Leap For Open Science

The incredibly quick development of rapid tests and vaccines for COVID-19 demonstrate the success that can follow the open sharing of data within the research community.

I am the Director of the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Open Programs Office. At [email protected], my colleagues and I work with faculty and researchers to help them openly share their research and data in a manner that provides others the rights to access, reuse and redistribute that work with as few barriers or restrictions a possible....
