Scientists urge NIH to mandate open lab data, with papers as mere summaries
anshulkundaje · x · 2026-11-08
An NIH-funded researcher argues raw data should be released the moment results exist, with papers serving only as summaries since the format emphasizes storytelling over results. He proposes traceable digital lab notebooks for all scientists—AI could make this broadly accessible—and says NIH should mandate it to improve reproducibility and grant accountability. He plans to implement and incentivize this via ResearchHub.
