Research data repository Dryad marked Halloween by calling siloed data, incomplete metadata and lack of context the 'scariest story' in science, warning that such practices make important research data impossible to discover, understand or reuse. The message promotes open data and open science practices, urging researchers to publish data with proper metadata so it remains usable by others.
Why now: Dryad used the Halloween occasion to draw attention to poor research data management and promote open data practices.
