The Panton Principles are a set of recommendations on how to share data that resulted from scientific research. Their name derives from the Panton Arms pub in Cambridge, UK in which they (often abbreviated PP for short) were drafted.

The main motivation behind the Panton Principles is that data do not fall under copyright but that their legal status should be clearly defined with respect to reuse and modification, and clearly signaled.
