There’s an extremely interesting commentary that appeared recently in Nature; it’s framed in terms of sharing data in the highly competitive framework of pharma and biotechnology corporations in ways that can benefit the entire community, but much of the thinking here is also relevant to highly competitive research labs within the academic research world that are simultaneously part of a community working together. Well worth reading and thinking about.
