Abstract

Rates of sharing of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics are historically low, limiting potential for scientific discovery. Here we show, using GWAS Catalog data, that GWAS papers that share data get on average 81.8% more citations, an effect that is sustained over time.
