Sharing data

We have already discussed the importance of sharing data and will now consider how we might go about sharing our data. There are a variety of ways we can share data. We could deposit our data with a specialist data centre, data archive or data bank such as the UK Data Archive or in an institutional repository such as the University’s Edinburgh DataShare. Alternatively, we could make our data available online through an institutional or project website. We could also choose to share our data by submitting it to a journal in support of a publication. Finally, we could simply choose to share our data informally with other researchers.
