Maximizing Data Sharing Policy Impact through Implementation, Compliance, and Support Workflows

The data-sharing landscape has transformed significantly over the past five years. As demands for research transparency and efficiency continue to rise, data-sharing policies have become increasingly common with funders and journals alike. The 2022 Nelson Memorandum's data-sharing requirements promise to further accelerate the uptake of these policies, as funded researchers aim to comply with requirements and publishers respond to the evolving needs of the research community. This interactive session will touch on the process of moving journals from weaker data-sharing policies to more stringent ones, the internal training and support needed at the publisher level to embed data policies and enable assessment of author compliance, the impact, and challenges of fully Open Data policies; the limitations of journal data sharing policies and the extent to which they support the sharing of reusable data; and how technological innovations can support stronger data sharing policies.

"Transformation, Trust, and Transparency" The pace of change in our industry continues unabated, with seismic shifts in areas such as the dissemination of research, business models, and the nature of the workplace. And yet, while pressure for change has become the new normal, fundamental change has proved more elusive. We invite you to join us in highlighting the Trust and Transparency issues that underlie many of the challenges we face and exploring what it takes to create more meaningful Transformation in scholarly publishing.
