Examples of open research practices

“There are now thousands of examples of companies having used open government data as a key business asset that have been documented by the Open Data 500, the Open Data Impact Map, the ExploraLatam, and other studies. These projects have illustrated that companies use open government data for business optimisation, for developing new products and services, or for a combination of the two…Data collaboratives represent an emerging model of public–private partnership within which various actors across sectors exchange data and pool analytical expertise…Research partnerships [are an example of date collaboratives], in which corporations share data with universities and other research organisations to map weather patterns and natural resources, for example.”
