[GOAL] Blog post about the challenges of convincing researchers that sharing their data is a good thing

[Danny Kingsley]

Hello all,

I have just written a post about the challenges of convincing 
researchers that sharing their data is a good thing:


  Good news stories about data sharing?

https://unlockingresearch.blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/?p=114

We have been speaking to researchers around the University recently to 
discuss theexpectations of their funders 
<http://www.data.cam.ac.uk/research-data-policies/funders-policies>in 
relation to data management. This has raised the issue of how best to 
convince people this is a process that benefits society rather than a 
waste of time or just yet another thing they are being 'forced to do' -- 
which is the perspective of some that we have spoken with. <snip>

Regards

Danny
