Publishing your research data can help to increase awareness of your research. Published data are channels for fellow researchers to notice and familiarize themselves with your research.

Published research data can facilitate collaboration between researchers, as it allows for data sharing and pooling of resources. Data can be seen in new perspectives and lead to new discoveries, enhance the scientific field and create more citations for the original data creators.

Data can be reused by other researchers as a shoulder to stand on and encourage the next step.

By publishing research data, you can increase transparency and accountability in the scientific community. It allows other researchers to access, use, and evaluate the data.

Your research is already a benefit to science and the wider public, and by publishing it serves as inspiration and a steppingstone for further development of new treatments, technologies, and inventions.
