What are we sharing and what needs to be shared
Theoretically, any piece of information (including data, formal and informal publications, blogs, fora, and so on) that is useful to other researchers, policy makers, extension practitioners, agricultural producers, etc. is worthy of sharing.
In carrying out information sharing, the following points should be taken into consideration:
All information to be shared should be valid (peer-reviewed, or likewise assessed).
All information to be shared should be easy to access and not taking a lot of time for a user to find the information.
All information to be shared should be properly settled for IPR, especially for formal publications.
Language is another significant issue, especially for global information sharing.
