Knowledge transfer should be facilitated by the opportunities offered by information technologies, as they affect the access and distribution of digital objects. However barriers to the access and reuse of scholarly research, whether economic or copyright-related, inhibit the sharing of this valuable common good. The open access movement promotes the elimination of these barriers and advocates for an open access culture of sharing and reusing materials, while guaranteeing that authors be duly acknowledged and that the data be used responsibly. If scientific papers have historically been essential for the communication of science, in the digital age it is now their building blocks that have gained greater importance, especially the observational, descriptive or experimental data that underpin the articles. Open research data can be reused, transformed by new methods or aggregated to other sources. Open access to research data avoids redundancy, provides transparency on how they have been obtained and allow for their validation. This work provides an overview of some initiatives and recommendations on how to share and manage research data and foster open access to it, as a means of collaboration between groups or individuals working in similar disciplines.
