"In 2010 the Panton Principles for Open Data in Science were published. These principles were founded upon the idea that ‘Science is based on building on, reusing and openly criticising the published body of scientific knowledge’ (http://pantonprinciples.org) and they provide a succinct list of the fundamentals to observe when sharing your data with the research community. Intended for a broad audience of academics, publishers and librarians, Issues in Research Data explores the implications of the Panton Principles through a number of perspectives on open research data in the sciences and beyond. The book features chapters by open data experts in a range of academic disciplines, covering practical information on licensing, ethics, and advice for data curators, alongside more theoretical issues surrounding the adoption of open data. As the book will be open access, each chapter will be able to standalone from the main volume so that communities can host, distribute, build upon and remix the content that is relevant to them. By helping to Unglue this volume, you are ensuring that researchers around the world have access to the work. The book will be available as open-access PDF and EPUB editions, with low-cost print versions printed on demand.  Thanks for your support! The following video by former Panton Fellow Sophie Kershaw is an excellent introduction to the Panton Principles ..."
