Nature Feature: Data sharing and how it can benefit your scientific career

Open science can lead to greater collaboration, increased confidence in findings and goodwill between researchers.

"The key ... is to practise “open science by design” ... For example, many researchers now keep data, computer code and other materials in web-based, interactive tools such as the popular Jupyter electronic notebook, which makes online archiving much easier."

"For early-career scientists who prefer producing data to managing it, Mons has this advice: “Go to a university that takes data stewardship seriously.”"

The culture of scientific research - Report

Throughout 2014, the Council undertook a series of engagement activities that aimed to inform and advance debate about the ethical consequences of the culture of scientific research.

The project aimed to explore the effects of a wide range of influences on scientific research, including funding mechanisms, publishing models, career structures and governance processes. This report summarises the findings of the project activities, which included a survey of almost 1000 scientists and others, and a series of discussion events at universities around the UK. A detailed analysis of the survey responses, a summary of the discussion events, and a background paper about the culture of scientific research in the UK are also available to download on this page.
