When 3D data are served on MorphoSource and made universally accessible and reusable, the actual and demonstrable research and education value of the data and the physical specimens the data represent are magnified in an unprecedented way. Stakeholders (data authors, museums and/or funding agencies) can export usage statistics or check citations of data DOIs, which constitute powerful evidence of scientific value and broader impacts. The need for physical access or means to digitize important collections will be reduced, allowing researchers and funders to focus their time and money on experimental design and data analysis. Finally, a well-populated MorphoSource brings data on unity of life and biological diversity to the public in an easily accessible and broadly available format. Already teachers and students from around the world have downloaded and use thousands of MorphoSource datasets. Additionally, the PIs and collaborators will develop and demonstrate outreach tools that build on the initial success of MorphoSource bringing the raw data on natural history to k-12 classrooms in a way never before possible. | When 3D data are served on MorphoSource and made universally accessible and reusable, the actual and demonstrable research and education value of the data and the physical specimens the data represent are magnified in an unprecedented way.
