#Rule 9. Reward colleagues who share their data properly.
Whether you do it in person at scientific meetings and conferences or by written communication when reviewing papers and grants, reward your colleagues who share data and code. Rally your colleagues and engage your community by providing feedback on the quality of the data assets in your field. Praise those following the best practices. The more the data created by your colleagues is accessible as an organized collection of some sort, the better your community’s research capacity. The more data get shared, used, and cited, the more they improve. Besides personal involvement and encouragement, the best way to reward data sharing is by attribution: always cite the sources of data that you use. Follow good scientific practice and give credit to those whose data you use, following their preferred reference format and according to current best practices. Standards and practices for citing and attributing data sources are actively being developed through international partnerships. \cite{national2012For,manifesto}
