This year marks the 10th anniversary of the State of Open Data, a collaboration between Digital Science, Figshare, and Springer Nature, that has tracked researcher attitudes toward data sharing across 192 countries every year since 2016. The 2025 edition draws on a full decade of longitudinal evidence to identify where real progress has been made, where momentum has stalled, and what new forces are reshaping the open data landscape.

In today's data-driven research landscape, effective data management and sharing are essential for advancing knowledge.

This week, we present a study on how HKUST researchers write the "Data Availability Statement" section in their papers. Clueless about DAS or not sure how to share your research data? Read our analysis here.

Research data management doesn’t have to be monotonous and tedious. Today we’d like to introduce six games that offer a fun and engaging approach to learning about research data management.

Now in its eighth year, the State of Open Data is the longest running longitudinal survey on researchers’ attitudes towards open data and open science practices. What does the 2023 survey tell us?

In a collaborative effort to promote the linkability and citability of research data, STM, DataCite, and Crossref have released a joint statement on research data.

In this week's post, we present a roundup of a diverse range of topics and events from the International Open Access Week held in October 2023.

On Zenodo’s 10th anniversary, we found over 200 publications, software, datasets, and more that were contributed by HKUST affiliated users. This post will provide tips on how to best use this platform to share your research outputs.

Sensitive data refers to data that needs protection from unauthorized disclosure. It's important to safeguard access to sensitive research data, and any sharing of it should be carefully planned.
