- 34. Development of OAResearch Data Open Data is the idea that certain data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other mechanisms of control. The concept of open access to scientific data was institutionally established with the formation of the World Data Centre system in 1957-1958. World Data Centres were established by the International Council for Science to minimize the risk of data loss and to maximize data accessibility. While the open-science-data movement long predates the Internet, the availability of fast, ubiquitous networking has significantly changed the context, since publishing and obtaining data has become much less expensive and time-consuming.

- 35. Why make researchdata OA? The Denton Declaration, An Open Data Manifesto ⢠Open access to research data is critical for advancing science, scholarship, and society. ⢠Research data, when repurposed, has an accretive value. ⢠Publicly funded research should be publicly available for public good. ⢠Transparency in research is essential to sustain the public trust. ⢠The validation of research data by the peer community is an essential function of the responsible conduct of research. ⢠Managing research data is the responsibility of a broad community of stakeholders including researchers, funders, institutions, libraries, archivists, and the public.

- 36. Why make researchdata OA? Benefits to researchers - ⢠Increase how visible your research is ⢠Preserve your data ⢠Meet funding requirements ⢠Stop duplication of effort ⢠Further the advance of science ⢠Support Open Access ⢠Data sharing has the potential to increase citations of your work. The authors of one study1 established that publicly available data was associated with a 69% increase in citations, independent of journal impact factor, date of publication, and author country of origin. 1.

The NHMRC requires that any publications arising from an NHMRC supported research project must be deposited into an open access institutional repository within a twelve month period from the date of publication.

Inescapable conclusions ⢠Arguedan open access publishing system would be less costly than the current system, less time- consuming and cumbersome for users, since complicated authentication systems can go and users could be assured a full-text copy of whatever research they need. ⢠Open access would not only guarantee access to current scholarship, but would also safeguard the long term archiving of the existing body of scholarly research literature.
