Sharing data, reducing bias and enhancing research papers
Unavailability of data and research results can have pernicious effects on scientific evidence. This bias is particularly harmful in medicine, where drugs may be prescribed based on misleading evidence. Sharing data increases the reliability and reproducibility of research, leading to more efficient ways to do science. It also increases the amount of credit researchers receive for their work (e.g. more citations). It is now easier than ever to share scientific data and results. Small datasets can be published as supplementary material; larger datasets can be deposited databases, e-notebooks, and repositories — and linked back to papers. F1000Research takes this further by publishing all data supporting a paper, and integrating and visualizing those data in line with published papers.
