Open Data Award
Science publishing now goes beyond the traditional journal article. Data sharing, its preservation and re-use, is an increasingly important part of the research and publication process. But there are many challenges associated with openly sharing scientific data, particularly when sharing goes against cultural or community norms. We are therefore seeking to recognize researchers who have published in BioMed Central’s journals and have demonstrated leadership in the sharing, standardization, publication, or re-use of biomedical research data.
