Despite the benefits, there are several challenges in data sharing within the catalysis community:
Data standardization: Ensuring that data is formatted consistently so that it can be easily understood and reused by others. Data privacy: Protecting sensitive or proprietary information while still making data available for public use. Data quality: Ensuring that shared data is accurate, complete, and reliable. Incentivizing sharing: Encouraging researchers to share their data by recognizing and rewarding their contributions.
