Schematic graph showing increasing value of data over time; time is X-axis; data value is y-axis; baseline is gradual increase in data equity, with serendipitous discovery and inter-site synthesis increasing data value much faster; and methodological flaws, instrumentation obsolescence, and inadequate information management shown as factors that decrease data value over time
