Across many fields of science, researchers’ support for sharing data has increased. But given the potential cost and complexity, many are apprehensive about a new NIH policy. Science offers this guide as researchers prepare to plunge in. ⬇️

Even as more funders expect grantees to provide data, a lack of professional rewards may be responsible for widespread noncompliance. Sharing typically doesn’t count for much in tenure and promotion reviews, for example. Academic institutions should encourage departments to develop policies for providing such rewards, according to afrom the Association of American Universities and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
Like NIH’s policy, OSTP’s requires all data “underlying” peer-reviewed scholarly papers be made publicly available for free when papers are published . The policy is significantly more stringent than the current requirement at a key agency it covers, the National Science Foundation , which only requires data sharing within “a reasonable time period.” NSF and other U.S. research-funding agencies are expected to propose details this year and next about how they will implement OSTP’s policy.
Although some institutional ethics boards have opposed such broad consent, “I think there’s an understanding that this is what the community is moving towards,” says physician Ida Sim of UC San Francisco. She is a co-founder of Vivli, a repository that some institutions plan to use to share participant-level data from clinical trials.
Many funders and journals have struggled to enforce their own sharing requirements. Confirming whether authors shared all data supporting an article can require a close, time-consuming examination, Vines says. Publishers receive no extra revenue for the added effort.
