    • Some funding bodies do not adequately support the research projects they sponsor in sharing data properly, both before and after publication.
    • Many scientists lack awareness, incentives and knowledge of data sharing which can be compounded by a fear of being “scooped”.
    • Public databases, often a more natural home for data than traditional publications, are frequently undervalued by a publish or perish culture [6].
    • Traditional scientific publishing is frequently (and ironically) a really inadequate method for sharing data. Important data and metadata routinely gets damaged or destroyed in the process of publishing [7].
    • The technical infrastructure for long term data sharing either does not exist or is not understood by those who should be providing and using it. This can lead to empty archive syndrome.
