The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) believes there is an ethical obligation to responsibly share data generated by interventional clinical trials because trial participants have put themselves at risk. As such, ICMJE has announced new requirements as conditions of consideration for publication of a clinical trial report in ICMJE member journals: http://annals.org/aim/article/2630766/data-sharing-statements-clinical-trials-requirement-international-committee-medical-journal
