Large-scale Behavioural Data Are Key to Climate Policy
Applying behavioural science can support system-level change for climate protection. Behavioural scientists should provide reliable large-scale data and governments should secure infrastructure for data collection and the implementation of evidence.
New WHO Policy Requires Sharing of All Research Data
Science and public health can benefit tremendously from sharing and reuse of health data. The Research for Health department has helped spearhead the launch of a new policy from the Science Division which covers all research undertaken by or with support from WHO. The goal is to make sure that all research data is shared equitably, ethically and efficiently.

The Pandemic Revolutionized Disease Surveillance. Now What?
The Pandemic Revolutionized Disease Surveillance. Now What?
Covid forced the world to develop some of the best epidemiological surveys ever done. Now they're being cut back, even as the threat of the virus lingers.
EU and US Come to 'Agreement in Principle' on Data Flows
The EU and US have reached an agreement in principle on facilitating data flows, including research data, across the Atlantic. Steady data sharing has been hampered since the EU's Court of Justice struck down the old rules due to concerns about US government surveillance in July 2020.
Tracking Science: How Libraries Can Protect Data and Scientific Freedom
Tracking Science: How Libraries Can Protect Data and Scientific Freedom
How can libraries help to prevent tracking in science, thereby protecting the data of the researchers and, in an idealistic sense, scientific freedom?
The Risks and Rewards of Real-Time Data
Unlike many valuable resources, real-time data is both abundant and growing rapidly. But it also needs to be handled with great care.
Building the Social and Technical Infrastructures to Transform Research Data Sharing One Plenary at a Time
Building the Social and Technical Infrastructures to Transform Research Data Sharing One Plenary at a Time
Twice a year, members of the Research Data Alliance come together for a plenary meeting that brings together active working groups, interest groups, and communities of practice. Phill Jones virtually attended the 18th plenary from the comfort and (COVID) safety of his home office. These are some of his observations about research infrastructure, data standards and persistent identifiers.
Biology Must Generate Ideas As Well As Data
Data should be a means to knowledge, not an end in themselves.

Fostering Interdisciplinary Data Cultures through Early Career Development: The RDA/US Data Share Fellowship
Fostering Interdisciplinary Data Cultures through Early Career Development: The RDA/US Data Share Fellowship
In this paper we discuss interdisciplinarity through data as a way to create research environments that are more flexible and, as a result, more amenable to change. We report our findings from facilitating and evaluating a data-oriented early-career fellowship program that was administered as part of the Research Data Alliance (RDA), a global organization that aims to enable open sharing and re-use of data.
