Open Science

“The underlying flaw that seems to elude journal editors and the scientific community is the need to independently examine the actual data BEFORE publication…. Journal editors must adopt a PUBLICATION REQUIREMENT for all authors submitting clinical trial reports if they want to protect the integrity of both the journals and the scientific literature. Authors should be REQUIRED to submit ALL RAW DATA along with their research report.”

Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research It describes the responsibilities of institutions and researchers in the management of research data and primary materials Institutions are to retain research data, provide secure data storage, identify ownership, and ensure security and confidentiality of research data Researchers are to retain research data and primary materials, manage storage of research data and primary materials, maintain confidentiality of research data and primary materials pdf

ARC Discovery Project Funding Rules Section states: "Publication and dissemination of Project outputs and outreach activity costs may be supported at up to two (2) per cent of total ARC funding awarded to the Project. The ARC strongly encourages publication in publicly accessible outlets and the depositing of data and any publications arising from a Project in an appropriate subject and/or institutional repository."

ARC Discovery Project Funding Rules Section states: “The Final Report must justify why any publications from a Project have not been deposited in appropriate repositories within 12 months of publication. The Final Report must outline how data arising from the Project has been made publicly accessible where appropriate.”

ANDS enables transformation of: Data that are:  Unmanaged  Disconnected  Invisible  Single use To Structured Collections that are:  Managed  Connected  Findable  Reusable so that Australian researchers can easily discover, access and use research data.
