Description: This poster promotes The Denton Declaration: An Open Access Manifesto. On May 22, 2012 at the University of North Texas (UNT), a group of technologists and librarians, scholars and researchers, university administrators, and other stakeholders gathered to discuss and articulate best practices and emerging trends in research data management. This declaration bridges the converging interests of these stakeholders and promotes collaboration, transparency, and accountability across organizational and disciplinary boundaries.
