How to Manage Your Open Data

Data can be like a gift, something you share for the benefit of others. To that end, the mission of the Center for Open Science is to foster sharing and facilitate research transparency. As more researchers are willing to open up their data to others, some new questions arise:

"Which repository should I choose?"

"Who owns the data? Do I have copyright on the raw data I collected, or do the participants who provide the data retain the copyright? Or is there no copyright at all?"

"If I reuse data from someone else, do I have to offer them co-authorship?"
