Data Management and Sharing

• re3data is a global registry of research data repositories, covering repositories from different academic disciplines.  Researchers can do a keyword search by discipline and narrow the results further using filters.  
• FAIRsharing.org hosts a searchable registry of data and digital asset repositories for a wide-range of disciplines.
• Data Repository Guidance, from Nature's Scientific Data, is specific to the journal but provides a useful annotated list of repositories by subject area.
• NIH-Supported Data Sharing Resources, maintained by the NIH, provides a list of data repositories.  Select by NIH institute, center or office, subject area, and more.  Alternatively, use the NNLM Data Repository Finder tool to match your dataset with an appropriate NIH-supported repository.
• Search using Google's Dataset Search and note where datasets similar to yours are stored

• Computer Science/ Code
  • Code Ocean - https://codeocean.com/ - A repository for computational code used in Life Science R&D as well as a cloud-based computational platform, making the code used in research both accessible and usable.
  • GitHub - https://github.com - An online platform for sharing, collaborating, and storing code.
• Environmental Science
  • DataONE - https://www.dataone.org/ -  A community driven program providing access to data across multiple member repositories, supporting enhanced search and discovery of Earth and environmental data.
• Energy
  • Energy Data eXchange (EDX) - https://edx.netl.doe.gov/ - the Department of Energy (DOE)/ Fossil Energy and Carbon Management’s (FECM) virtual library and data laboratory built to find, connect, curate, use and re-use data to advance fossil energy and environmental R&D
  • Open EI - https://apps.openei.org/upload/ - A wiki platform with information - including data - aggregated from many different sources, and links to various DOE repositories including Data Foundry, Open Energy Data Initiative (OEDI), Geothermal Data Repository (GDR), and Marine Hydrokinetic Data Repository (MHKDR).
• Humanities
  • CORE - https://mla.hcommons.org/core/ - the open access, full-text, interdisciplinary, non-profit social repository designed to increase the impact of work in the humanities, supported by the Modern Language Association (MLA)
• Social and Behavioral Science
  • ICPSR - https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/pages/ - A long-standing data archive of more than 350,000 files of research in the social and behavioral sciences, with 23 specialized collections of data in education, aging, criminal justice, substance abuse, terrorism, and other fields.
  • Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) - https://qdr.syr.edu/ - A dedicated archive for storing and sharing digital data (and accompanying documentation) generated or collected through qualitative and multi-method research in the social sciences and related disciplines.
  • Databrary - https://nyu.databrary.org/ - Databrary is a video data library for Behavioral Scientists

Below is an example of repositories for different types of datasets aligned with the Biomedical and Bioengineering research disciplines. A single research project can generate several very different kinds of data that mogith require submission to different repositories.

This is only a sample- contact the UML Library if you need help or have questions.
