1. Share your work as it happens
2. Share your data in machine readable formats, with annotations supporting reuse, and choose a reuse friendly license
3. Make your publications Open Access by choosing an OA journal or depositing in an open repository
4. Take control of your copyrights - know your rights, keep them, and tell others how your work can be used
