Despite their benefits, collaboration platforms face several challenges:
- Data Security and Privacy: Ensuring the security and privacy of shared data is a major concern, especially when dealing with sensitive or proprietary information. - Interoperability: Integrating data and tools from different platforms can be challenging due to differences in formats and standards. - Accessibility: Ensuring that these platforms are accessible to researchers from all regions and institutions can be difficult, particularly in developing countries with limited resources. - Funding and Sustainability: Maintaining and updating these platforms requires continuous funding and support, which can be challenging to secure.
