Policies that request and require investigators to share research data are becoming more common.

This research study, The impact of public data archiving policies on attitudes, experiences, and practices of authors, explores the impact of journal policies on the experiences, attitudes, and practices of active scientists.

The results will help inform future data archiving policies.
