Abstract

Although the question of who pays for open data is important (“Who will pay for public access to research data?,” F. Berman and V. Cerf, Policy Forum, 9 Aug, p. 616), a greater challenge lies in implementing the institutional and cultural changes required before data from government-sponsored research can be openly shared.
