Data available on unreasonable request

Do you love open data? Do you conduct data appraisal? Data availability statements are basically mandatory in every field, but there are sometimes hurdles so that you can always make your data "available on reasonable request". In this short provocative talk Enrico argued that maybe we can just be honest and tell that not all data is worth opening, and more resources and efforst should be invested on high quality datasets that truly have potential for reuse and new discoveries.

Abstract

Do you love open data? Do you conduct data appraisal? Data availability statements are basically mandatory in every field, but there are sometimes hurdles so that you can always make your data "available on reasonable request". In this short provocative talk Enrico argued that maybe we can just be honest and tell that not all data is worth opening, and more resources and efforst should be invested on high quality datasets that truly have potential for reuse and new discoveries.
