"BBSRC is committed to encouraging its research community to make readily available the outputs from the research it funds."

"The University assumes that all data produced by university researchers will be made available to the wider academic community."

"Data should be considered for sharing and made as widely and as freely accessible as possible whilst safeguarding intellectual property, the privacy of the patients and confidential data."

"Research data management plans must ensure that research data are available for access and re-use where appropriate."

"Research organisations must ensure that data is securely preserved for a minimum of 10 years from the last date on which access to the data was requested."

"ESRC award holders are expected to make use of existing standards for data management and to make data available for further re-use."

"Data which are determined to be a matter of public record and can therefore be made freely available, without restriction, are categorised as Public Access"

"Data must be properly curated throughout its life-cycle and released with the appropriate high-quality metadata."

"NERC is committed to supporting long-term environmental data management to enable continuing access to these data."

"Research data should be made available for use by other researchers. Researchers must retain research data, including electronic data, in a durable, indexed and retrievable form."

"Investigators are expected to share the primary data, samples, physical collections and other supporting materials created or gathered in the course of work under NSF grants."

"Sharing your data is in the public interest, where research data has been publicly funded"

"Data sharing is a step toward reuse of data, which adds value to them: allowing other researchers access to your data opens up possibilities for new readings, new interpretations, and new discoveries."

"Data should be made openly available with as few restrictions as possible in a timely and responsible manner that does not harm intellectual property."

"Researchers are to maximise the availability of data with as few restrictions as possible."
