The open research value proposition: 2 How sharing can help researchers succeed

[Abstract] Open access, open data, open source, and other open scholarship practices are 26 growing in necessity and popularity, rapidly becoming part of the integral workflow 27 of researchers. However, widespread adoption of many of these practices has not yet 28 been achieved. Understandably, researchers have concerns as to how sharing their work 29 will affect their careers. Some of these concerns stem from a lack of awareness about 30 the career benefits associated with open research. Herein, we review literature on the 31 open citation advantage, media attention for publicly available research, collaborative 32 possibilities, and special funding opportunities to show how open practices can give 33 researchers a competitive advantage.
