The sharing of research results, the free circulation of knowledge, and transparency in methodology are key tenets to the scientific method.

The fast-moving field of gene-drive research provides an opportunity to rewrite the rules of the science, says Kevin Esvelt.

Evolve governance structures, practices and metrics to accelerate innovation in an era of digital connectivity, writes Martin Curley.

Governments need to tighten regulation if the sharing of clinical-trial data is to succeed.

The open source physics site arXiv is turning 25, and it's going to get a makeover. But what does that mean for its principles of data transparency?
