**Visibility and credit**

Data publishing can enhance your profile as a researcher by making your research more discoverable. Publication allows other researchers to find, use and cite your work,and allows you to track the impact of your research. There is [evidence to suggest](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0230416) that publications with open datasets attract more citations.

**Transparency and robustness**

Data publication enables other researchers to reproduce your research to verify findings. This promotes transparency and increases the robustness of the scholarly record.

**Publisher and funder requirements**

Funders and publishers increasingly require publication of datasets associated with your research. Many publishers now also require researchers share their data as part of the peer review process.
