Data sharing: Empty archives.

- Abstract
The article investigates why many researchers chose not to share their data. It found out this was accounted to the determination of researchers about the staggering diversity of incoming information. It mentions that others have discovered that the infrastructure to share data does not really exist, thus they need to start creating that. Meanwhile, others said that they do not have a practice to grant funds with the condition that data from the project is sent to a data centre. In addition, some asserted that the main barrier to data sharing are concerns about quantity and quality.
