ORI Introduction to RCR: Chapter 6. Data Management Practices

1. Should research data belong to researchers rather than to research institutions?
2. Should data recording practices be standardized to facilitate sharing and monitoring? What recording practices could be standardized? 
3. What interpretation practices could be standardized? How does your laboratory verify the accuracy and validity of data before its disclosure or use in grant proposals and publications?
4. Who should pay the cost of sharing data? Who should have access to the data?
5. How long should researchers be able to withhold data to allow time to protect ownership claims? How long should research data be stored?
