Why 80% of Research Data Goes Unused: The Hidden Cost

International Research Awards

A recent report by Frontiers reveals that up to 80% of research data produced worldwide remains unused after publication. While vast amounts of information are generated daily—from genomics to climate science—most datasets never reach public repositories or are stored in inaccessible, inconsistent, or undocumented formats. The main culprits include lack of standardized data-sharing policies, limited incentives for researchers to share, and insufficient infrastructure for open-access repositories. This “data graveyard” not only wastes billions in research funding but also slows scientific progress, as future studies must often re-collect or reproduce existing data. By adopting FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable), funding agencies and institutions aim to unlock the potential of hidden datasets—transforming lost information into a powerful catalyst for discovery, collaboration, and innovation.

How COVID Sped Up Our Brains’ Aging!

International Research Awards How COVID Sped Up Our Brains’ Aging! Emerging research reveals a startling truth: COVID-19 doesn't just impact the lungs—it may accelerate brain aging. Even mild cases have been linked to memory loss, decreased cognitive performance, and changes in brain structure, especially in regions tied to attention and emotional regulation. Long COVID symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating mimic those seen in decades-older individuals, suggesting the virus may speed up neurological aging. Scientists are racing to understand how inflammation, vascular damage, and immune responses triggered by the virus contribute to this silent cognitive toll. 🌍 Visit Our Website : researchawards.net ✉️ Contact Us : contact@researchawards.net
