Sharing is caring so where are your data? Tristan Henderson School of Computer Science, University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife KY16 9SX, UK tristan@cs.st-andrews.ac.uk ABSTRACT The networking research community lacks a tradition of sharing experimental data, or using such data for reproducing results. But are we really that bad? Are we worse than researchers in other elds? And if so, how can we do better?

The data collectors themselves often become authors on papers analysing the data, providing recognition and incentive to collect data in the rst place. Our dismal scienti c colleagues, the economists, have studied the need to share data and the effects of this on research output [9]. While there are several economics data archives [10, 11, 12], it has been argued that these could be better [13]: contribution levels are low, and some of the data that are submitted are insuf cient to enable replicable results. The life sciences appear to have the most organised system for data-sharing. Journals have strict policies
