Data sharing involves depositing your data in an established data repository or archive to facilitate its accessibility to the broader research community and its long-term preservation. Sharing your data in a data repository makes it discoverable, reusable, and citable by other researchers. Many funding agencies and journals now have data sharing policies that require researchers to make data, code, and supporting documentation publicly available. Choosing an established data repository will help meet these requirements and increase the visibility and impact of your research.
When evaluating repositories, look for discipline- or datatype-specific repositories where available, or generalist repositories (such as Dryad, below) if no discipline-specific resource appropriate for your data exists.
Repository Lists and Guidance:
The Dryad Data Repository is an open and curated data sharing platform for researchers to share and publish their data. Dryad is free for UCI affiliates. Each dataset goes through a curation process during submission to check for FAIR (findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability).
Key features of Dryad include:
