Reusable data is the new oil

New oil data is 21st century jargon. This movement has not been widely echoed in Indonesia. Although some initiatives should be recognized and appreciated, the status of the availability of reusable data in most countries, especially in Indonesia is still low. Most of the data published in Indonesian open access journals are in the form of pdf files that cannot be reused. We advise editors of Indonesian scientific journals to consider adopting FAIR data sharing by encouraging authors to share their data as additional files in a machine readables format, e.g. csv or xls. This effort will also contribute to the principles of transparency and sustainable development in Indonesia's research ecosystem.
