Description
This is a critical moment in the open science landscape. Over the past few years there has been growing momentum to improve open research policies and require grantees to share all research outputs, from datasets to code to protocols, in FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable) repositories with persistent identifiers attached. The Aligning Science Across Parkinsons (ASAP) initiative has made substantial investments in improving open science compliance monitoring for its grantees, requiring grantees to update their manuscripts if not all research outputs have been linked in the initial manuscript version.
**Here, we evaluate ASAPs effectiveness in improving research output sharing for all articles processed through the ASAP compliance workflow between March 1, 2022, and October 1, 2022**. Our ultimate goal in sharing our findings is to assist other funders and institutions as they consider open science implementation. By normalizing the open science and compliance process across funding bodies, we hope to simplify and streamline researcher, institutional, and funder workflows, allowing researchers to focus on science by easily leveraging resources and building upon the work of others.
