On Open Data Day on 7th March, the Early Career Researcher Advisory Board (ECRab) for Wellcome Open Research joined the celebrations with the launch of our data sharing campaign. We want to grow a culture of data sharing by raising awareness, sharing information and developing discipline specific resources on data sharing to help all researchers shift to open science practices. In this blog, the ECRAB outline our plans and give a taste of things to come over the next year.
