Abstract
It is easy to argue that open data is critical to enabling faster and
more effective research discovery. In this article, we describe the
approach we have taken at Wiley to support open data and FAIR (Findable,
Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) data with the implementation of
four data policies: “Encourages”, “Expects”, “Mandates” and
“Mandates and Peer Reviews Data”. We describe the rationale for these
policies and levels of adoption so far. In the coming months we plan to
measure and monitor the implementation of these policies via the
publication of data availability statements and data citations. With
this information, we’ll be able to celebrate adoption of data-sharing
practices by the research communities we work with and serve, and we
hope to showcase researchers from those communities leading in open
research.
