Researchers in \href{http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16436573}{life sciences} and \href{http://bioscience.oxfordjournals.org/content/65/1/69.abstract}{other fields} often withhold their raw data for months before and even after publishing, according to recent surveys. This practice has questionable utility, as it slows the pace of research, makes it less reproducible, and erodes public trust in science.
“It’s well known that open “Open access
to research can help save saves lives,” said Professor Peter Suber from the Harvard
Office for Scholarly Communication and the Harvard Open Access Project, which
was were not involved with the Cell Ebola study.
“For the same reason, closed “Research saves lives, and when access is unaffordable or
delayed delayed, the access
to research can barriers put lives at
risk, risk. This is especially
true in a crisis like Ebola where time is of the
essence." essence.”
The Ebola genome research team found that open science carried other benefits too. “One of the most rewarding aspects of working in this outbreak response is the connections we have made with so many extraordinary individuals through open data sharing”, said senior author Pardis Sabeti. The paper's working draft on Authorea eventually grew to over 21 researchers from four continents.
