| dc.description.abstract | In the new era of Open Science, the European Union strongly promotes that all sorts
of data should be able to roam freely within the academic world (LERU 2018). A free
flow of data enables researchers to not only check and verify each other’s work—and
thereby to enhance the quality of their work—but also to set up (international) collaborations
in which multiple institutions and research communities can benefit
from the same data sets. Moreover, data are a key asset in setting up successful
research collaborations: not only are they the fuel and catalyst of innovative research,
but the sharing of data is also a sign of mutual confidence and respect (Buttarelli 2016). | en_US |
