Prefer reusing not creating first

Hi everybody

I have made a mistake on placing the activity on the wheel because my fist choice was to start by reuse, then create and so on... 

But, as far as i am concerned, I think it would be better to start a research activity by looking fo reusable data before creating new ones. 

With such advice, we could expect from FAIR principles to be better adressed in the future.

What do you think about it ? 

Kind regards 

Emma Harris

I agree that starting with Reuse is an excellent idea. Of course there needs to be a framework that provides and rewards that process, but it is not too far from a literature review. So you start by analysing what has already been written, so researchers could start by asking what data has already been produced and can be resused.
