  • Time and effort Making data sharable is labor intensive
  • Lack of incentives for sharing data The current academic culture lacks the incentive structure to properly reward researchers who share their data.
  • Loss of control over data Scoop, errors in their data, contradictory conclusions, misuse
  • Personal data Anonymizing/pseudonymizing not always easy. Trade off with utility.
