Sure. The new open access philosophy that has emerged in the research, not only affects journals, but also databases (theses, research projects, clinical trials, etc.).
The open access tries to share information for several reasons .- Access to knowledge regardless you belong to a powerful or weak institution .- as we share data, each time we get closer to big data (if we reuse data from other studies, we get more powerful research, etc)
