Science policy promotes open access to research data for purposes of transparency and reuse in the public interest. We expect demands scholarly publishing accelerate, at least partly response opacity artificial intelligence algorithms. Open should be findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable (FAIR), also trustworthy verifiable. The current state is transition from 'nice have' 'need have.'
