Description
Storing research data in accessible and searchable repositories is crucial for fulfilling the FAIR principles and advancing scientific knowledge while promoting transparency. In addition to the inherent benefits of sharing data in this way, the researcher also benefits from the various tools and functionalities built around the repository, which can significantly improve their project efficiency in the long run. However, integrating new data management practices into a group requires considerable effort in the short term, and many researchers require an extra push to make the necessary changes.
In this session, we will discuss current and future approaching for incentivising researchers, especially. The session will be largely held within a structured discussion forum format, with the following major topics covered:
