Summary:
"Making your research data publicly discoverable by other researchers can increase its impact in ways which you perhaps hadn't originally anticipated when you first created the data.
By publishing/sharing datasets or descriptions of datasets, you will benefit from:
- Expansion to the scale and impact of research: Research data can be cited by other researchers which can amplify your research impact.
- Increased collaboration and reduced duplication: Your research datasets become more discoverable thus making other researchers aware of your research.
- Research integrity: The validity of your research results can be substantiated.
- Future applications: Research data preservation allows for the application of developing analytical technologies within a field of research."
