Sharing data means making your data known to other people.
You can share your data with collaboration partners in the context of a collaborative research project, or you can publish your data to share it with the global research community and society at large.
It’s important to know that data sharing doesn’t mean open data or public data. You can choose to share your data with restricted access or even closed access. Moreover, sharing or publishing data is different from publishing a paper or a manuscript in a journal. Here we focused on data (i.e. raw observations and measurements, analysis workflows, code, etc.), not on papers or articles.
Data sharing can be done at any time during the research data life cycle but, at the latest, data should be made available at the time of publication of articles that use the data to make scientific conclusions.
