La condivisione dei dati della ricerca

Data sharing is essential for scientific advancement, as exemplified by the Covid-19 pandemic. This crisis underscored the critical challenges of managing and sharing research data, which are not yet fully ingrained in scientific culture. To generate data that can be shared and reused, researchers should adhere to specific practices and ensure their data is FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). Major research funding agencies like Horizon Europe and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) now mandate the submission of Data Management Plans outlining how all project-related data will be managed and shared. The final section of this article delves into editorial policies regarding data sharing, the obstacles to sharing, and the emerging technologies and specialized roles needed to support efficient data management.
