One good reason to share data is that everyone—researchers, funders, the public—gets a bigger bang for their buck. Data sharing accelerates discovery. Much more rapid progress would be made if researchers could build on earlier efforts by analyzing videos in ways unimagined by the original researcher; if researchers could browse for examples to stimulate new work or to train and educate students; and if researchers could gather preliminary data, expand samples, run replications, examine cohort effects, and assess effects of geographic location or population using data in a shared archive. Researchers could use tools contributed to a shared repository to enhance understanding of their own data and use shared data to test their analytic tools. They could collaborate with like-minded researchers in subareas of interest to create corpora with shared coding schemes and analysis tools (e.g., TalkBank). A history of data sharing and a plan to commit data to an open repository would enhance the likelihood of Federal funding.
