We also publish several journals – including EMBO Reports, The EMBO Journal , and EMBO Molecular Medicine – that have
adopted our highest data policy of Mandates and Peer Reviews Data,
setting the standard for data transparency (and also data citation, discussed in the section that follows). Beyond our data sharing
policy, we partner with repositories like Figshare and Dryad to make it
easier for authors to share data in approved repositories. We develop
standards and guidance that enables researchers to share and cite their
research data more readily [21, 22]. We adopt and encourage the use
of Center for Open Science badges, and over 30 journals use these to
recognise and celebrate authors who share data. In addition, we are
launching an Open Science Ambassador Program in China, and Open Data
contribution and sharing will be important components of that program.
