As the move towards open science progresses, the relevance of data sharing and data management increases, says new Springer Nature whitepaper Springer Nature has published a whitepaper titled 'Challenges and Opportunities for Data Sharing in Japan.' The whitepaper reports a survey of researchers in Japan about data sharing and management. The report includes a summary of discussions by key opinion leaders from the Japanese research community, and expresses a commitment to open science and the desire for data sharing best practice to be researcher-led and discipline-specific. The details of the report will be presented at the Japan Open Science Summit (JOSS) 2019 taking place on May 27-28, 2019 in Tokyo, Japan.

While the social and behavioral sciences (SBS) are uniquely positioned to make this impact and thus benefit society, their true impact is often ignored or overlooked. As a result, sustained attention is needed to help bring attention to SBS' value. A new report establishes imperatives and recommended actions to improve the measurement of SBS impact.
