Reusability is important

Reusability is restricted by

  • A lack of understanding about licensing

  • A lack of experts

  • Balancing academic freedom, commercialisation, and right to public access

What happens next?

  • Google docs stay open

  • Anyone can edit or add comments

  • Guidance will be written by BBSRC

  • Links will be circulated to people who attended today
