Funding agencies worldwide are moving rapidly to ensure that data from publicly funded research are shared widely and freely (see, for instance, go.nature.com/3rsujk3). For example, from 25 January 2023, researchers supported by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) must submit plans on how their raw data will be managed and shared (see go.nature.com/34hvtfh). However, it is not always clear how such efforts will be paid for in practice.
