Clear Licensing: Specify licensing terms to clarify how others can use the shared files. 3. Regular Updates: Keep shared files and data repositories up-to-date with the latest findings and corrections. 4. Community Engagement: Engage with the research community to promote and enhance collaborative efforts.
