Data are at the core of science, but traditional journal articles normally deliver a distillation of the raw data gathered by the authors. While the movement towards open access is widely supported by researchers and funding agencies, a 2024 study by <a href="https://ioppublishing.org/">IOP Publishing</a> revealed that many scientists still encounter a wide range of practical, ethical and technical barriers when it comes to sharing their data.

As a result, the publisher has launched a free online course that aims to give early-career researchers the practical skills and confidence they need to share and manage research data effectively.
To talk about the course and IOP Publishing’s open data policy I am joined by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laura-feetham-walker/">Laura Feetham-Walker</a>, who is head of publishing strategy and performance at IOP Publishing.
IOP Publishing is a wholly owned subsidiary of the <a href="https://www.iop.org/">Institute of Physics</a> and it publishes Physics World.
