Open data is fundamental to the goal of maximizing the value of research. As the culture of science transitions towards an ‘open’ model (Hampton et al, 2015), many stakeholders such as funding bodies and journals now insist on open data. Molecular Ecology and Molecular Ecology Resources have strived to be at the forefront of Open Data initiatives being amongst the first journals in ecology and evolution to implement mandatory public data archiving in 2011 as part of the Joint Data Archiving Policy (Whitlock et al, 2010). The motivation to improve data archiving was based on a collective view that accessible and reusable data is invaluable to the research community (Whitlock et al, 2010).

开放数据是实现研究价值最大化目标的基础。随着科学文化向“开放”模式转变（Hampton 等，2015），资助机构和期刊等许多利益相关者现在坚持开放数据。Molecular Ecology和Molecular Ecology Resources一直努力站在开放数据计划的前沿，成为生态学和进化领域首批在 2011 年实施强制性公共数据存档的期刊，作为联合数据存档政策的一部分（Whitlock 等，2010）。改进数据归档的动机是基于一种集体观点，即可访问和可重用的数据对研究界来说是无价的（Whitlock 等，2010）。
