"We believe it's much better to publish the following five components to provide transparent and auditable disclosure: 1. The raw data 2. The circumstances of its collection 3. The method and assumptions used to process the data (in words and equations) 4. The results of the processing 5. The known limitations on the method and significance of the assumptions"

"This article reviews the need for Open Data, shows examples of why Open Data are valuable and summarizes some early initiatives in formalizing the right of access to and re-use of scientific data."

"Hrynaszkiewicz, said, "Increasing online open data availability in formats than can be readily re-used and analyzed by others puts the processing power into journalists' hands; rather than relying on outside specialists such as policy makers to provide insights, raw data can now be analyzed and interpreted in newsrooms. This is the emerging field of data-driven journalism, in which journalists gather, analyze and visualize 'big' data and combine it with compelling, credible storytelling. "Ensuring open data can be readily used by others adds real value to the, occasionally challenging, data sharing-process." "

"An increasing number of peer-reviewed journals and research funding agencies require authors to make available the raw, unprocessed data supporting the findings reported in their research articles --. -- But there is little practical guidance available on how data should be shared, particularly in clinical research where sharing information about individuals without their consent presents risks to privacy - both from a legal and ethical perspective."

"Digital material can be easily reproduced at no cost. But this potential is often not realised, because the vast majority of archaeological information is not shared. Researchers and research groups usually restrict access to their data to a small group of people. In other words, data sharing is not so widespread among archaeologists as one might wish, and dissemination of research is still mostly based on traditional pre-digital means like journal articles, books and the like."

"Julkisesti tuotetut ja rahoitetut tietoaineistot muodostavat merkittävän kansallisen resurssin, joka kuitenkin tällä hetkellä on vajavaisesti käytettävissä. Laaja ja helppo pääsy tietoaineistoihin ja niitä hyödyntäviin sähköisiin palveluihin kasvattaa tutkimus- ja innovaatiotoiminnan tehokkuutta, mahdollistaa uusia löytöjä sekä sallii tietoaineistojen käytön ennen arvaamattomin tavoin ja yhä uusissa yhteyksissä, raportissa todetaan. "
