Scientists can find the data for reuse financing the organizations will be able to analyze influence of grants, it will also be useful for the organizations interested in making the data more available and open, including for the publishers considering a question of where these data sets, and publications with the corresponding data sets are stored", 'Christina Gertsog, the CEO of Dimensions noted' | |
