Nature has published a feature article that provides good overview of the current state of data publication and sharing in science. Despite the title, which suggests evangelism in favour of open access, it’s a generally well-balanced view of the challenges facing us right now:

“…the current state of science: partly open, partly closed, and with unclear and inconsistent policies and expectations on data sharing that are still in flux.”
