Abstract
[Extract] Access to high-quality data is essential for advancing nephrology research; however, many researchers face significant barriers to access these resources. The cost of data acquisition and the complexity of navigating data repositories can hinder equitable access, particularly for those in smaller institutions or developing regions. This may be compounded by a lack of awareness of the range of multidisciplinary data sources among researchers, in part because of increasing research subspecializations; for example, basic scientists may not be familiar with the range of clinical datasets. Paywalls may present an additional obstacle, and it is noteworthy that of the top 20 Nephrology journals, only 4 are entirely open access, with 15 taking a hybrid approach.1
