Data Reuse
Why is it important?
- Making the data available, does not ensure it is fit for reuse
- Reproducibility crisis
“More than 70% of researchers have tried and failed to reproduce another scientist’s experiments, and more than half have failed to reproduce their own experiments.” 1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility
- Preventing financial loss due to the inability to reuse data.
” A 2018 European Commission report estimates that problems with the reuse of data cost the EU at least €10 billion each year in the academic sector alone” It is irresponsible to support research but not data stewardship
