Data Repositories

Data Repositories:

A centralized space to store, manage, and organize data for data analysis, sharing and reporting. Data repositories facilitate data management, ensuring accessibility, security, and efficiency in handling diverse datasets.

Many countries, funding agencies, and institutions are developing policies and infrastructure to support research data management and sharing through centralized repositories.

The European Commission supports pan-European research data infrastructure through projects like European Open Science Cloud (EOSC). The aim of this is to support good practice in the field of research data management across scientific communities. The EOSC initiative in the Czech Republic sets the main goal in creating the so-called National Data Infrastructure (NDI), or a common platform for sharing, managing and accessing data and computing resources for research purposes.

Which repository to use?

1. Deposit data to discipline-specific repositories.

2. Make sure to choose a repository with trust certification. Search in a global registry: re3data , FAIRsharing

3. Use the University repository (https://dspace.jcu.cz/)

4. Deposit data in a general purpose repository (Figshare, Zenodo, Dryad, Harvard Dataverse)
