Dear Colleague,

Below is a link to a release detailing BioMed Central’s call for
increased transparency and access to raw research data.

The open access journal, BMC Research Notes, is seeking to encourage
greater data sharing by waiving the publication fee for all articles
which use or link to open data that is prepared in line with a
community-accepted standard.

This is for immediate release.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Best wishes,
Matt
