You are invited to the pinnacle seminar for this series focused on societies and their communities to develop a better understanding of the evolving data (and software) sharing research culture.

In this pinnacle seminar we include the seminar series society and federation collaborators as they participate in three panels:

1. Bring awareness to scientific societies on how they can help meet the aspirations of open and FAIR digital research products and encourage the culture of sharing.
2. Discuss how societies can provide incentives for sharing data and software through actions such as updates to honor and awards criteria.
3. Current practices and resources for updating publication policy and author guidelines around availability statements and citations for data and software.

This series is supported and guided by these collaborating societies and federations:
