Promoting Data Sharing Approaches Toolkit

This Toolkit—produced with generous support from the Data Funders Collaborative—is intended to help communicators talk about and promote a wide range of data sharing, with broad audiences. The idea is to identify ways of creating more constructive and supportive dialog with more people. In addition to a review of the underlying research and testing, material in the Toolkit consists of a set of brief, concrete discussions of communications choices and considerations, as well as a set of concrete illustrations of how the recommendations can play out in real-world communications contexts. The Toolkit is designed as a stand-alone document—readers don’t necessarily need to dive deeper into the research and rationales behind the material. But anyone interested in doing so is invited to read the accompanying research report.
