Finding where to store your data can difficult. Our data services librarian has curated a robust list of data repositories based on discipline.
This extensive list includes:
- A description of each repository
- any costs associated with storing the data
- submission information
- who has access to the data
But how will know what repository is best for you? Consider the following:
- Depending on your funding and the data that your project generates, you may be required to deposit your data in a specific repository. If this is the case, your funding agency/institution will explicitly state where you must store your data.
- Otherwise, if there is a repository that is commonly used within your discipline, you should store your data there. A great way to locate these repositories is by consulting mentors on where they have stored project data in the past.
- In the absence of a funder-mandated or a discipline-specific repository, you should store your data in either a generalist or an institutional repository.
If you’d like to discuss the best place to store your data, connect with our data services librarian.
