Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: The recent editorial by Drs. Longo and Drazen in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) [1] has stirred up quite a bit of controversy. As Executive Officers of the International Society of Computational Biology, Inc. (ISCB),  express our deep concern about the restrictive and potentially damaging opinions voiced in this editorial, and while ISCB works to write a detailed response,  felt it necessary to promptly address the editorial with this reaction. While some of the concerns voiced by the authors of the editorial are worth considering, large parts of the statement purport an obsolete view of hegemony over data that is neither in line with today’s spirit of open access nor furthering an atmosphere in which the potential of data can be fully realized.#R##N##R##N#ISCB acknowledges that the additional comment on the editorial [2] eases some of the polemics, but unfortunately it does so without addressing some of the core issues.  still feel, hover, that  need to contrast the opinion voiced in the editorial with what  consider the axioms of our scientific society, statements that lead into a fruitful future of data-driven science:#R##N##R##N##R##N#Data produced with public money should be public in benefit of the science and society#R##N##R##N##R##N#Restrictions to the use of public data hamper science and slow progress#R##N##R##N##R##N#Open data is the best way to combat fraud and misinterpretations#R##N##R##N##R##N##R##N#Current large data collections proceed from many sources, are continually accumulated, and require a variety of analytical approaches.
