One angle that I think is worth exploring is the funding bodies putting requirements in place around publishing data (and the quality of that data) as a condition around funding.
If NIST required that you publish the data (say within N years to cover the concern about getting scooped on follow-up papers), and dinged you on future funding applications if you didn't meet their quality/reproducibility metrics, perhaps that would help to align incentives.
This is the same sort of idea as requiring research from public funding to be put in open-access journals so that the public can benefit from it.
- kashyapc 6y agoBoth your points sound promising to me: requirements by funding bodies and time limit for publishing data. But since I'm an academic layman, I can't punch any valid holes in the idea. :-) Regardless, I hope this idea gets discussed more by the real stake holders. Perhaps you might to do a public write-up of the idea.
