LibGuides: Digital Scholarship & Research Services: Data Management and Sharing

Overview

There are new guidelines for all researchers applying for NIH funds. With the goal of fostering data stewardship and creating a cultural change for sharing practices, researchers must submit a Data Management and Sharing Plan with their grant applications. Compliance will influence future funding decisions. Additional information can be found here.

The AAMC Statement on NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy can be found here.

Find a Data Repository

Registry of Research Data Repositories
A research data repository is a subtype of a sustainable information infrastructure which provides long-term storage and access to research data that is the basis for a scholarly publication. Research data means information objects generated by scholarly projects for example through experiments, measurements, surveys or interviews.

A research data repository listed in re3data.org is either:

1) a data provider if it offers research data and its metadata (ideally exposing metadata via interfaces),
and/or

2) a service provider (e.g. a portal) if it harvests the metadata of research data from data providers as a basis for building value-added services.
