To help institutions and libraries understand if and how researchers are sharing data associated with their publications we’ve introduced a new service, Data availability reporting.

From the 2018 State of Open Data report

Data Visualization & Mixed Reality

Springer Nature has launched a pilot program in which digital Open data badges are being awarded to articles to incentivize and reward open data sharing practices amongst our authors.

The Nature Research journals have taken further steps to promote transparency and reproducibility by making information on the availability of research data within our articles easier to access.

The Wellcome Trust is partnering with Springer Nature on a pilot to help researchers make their research datasets more findable and accessible.

Research Data Support is now available to all authors publishing in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

Let’s collaborate to make data “open by default”

As part of my role at Springer Nature, I have spent the last year involved in an outreach project that aims to better understand the issues faced by institutions within the rapidly developing area of sharing research data.

The Data Publishing team has been on the road in February and March, presenting our work at the International Digital Curation Conference in Barcelona and the Research Data Archiving and Preservation Summit in Chicago. The slides and other outputs are now published and available for anyone who didn't make it to the events in person.
