Access to Research Data
• support open scientific inquiry
• encourage diversity of hypotheses & data analysis
• encourage interdisciplinary research
• provide greater returns for public investment in
research
• facilitate the education of new researchers
• foster downstream commercialization of outputs
• support studies on data collection & analysis methods
• engage public in science
