What do authors and readers


say
Storing Data: The majority of participants say that some or all of their
data is stored locally and not published.

What do authors and readers


say
Using Data: The majority of participants look for other researchers datasets,
with more than half doing so once a month or more for each data type, and
between a fifth and a quarter doing so once a week or more frequently.

What to look for in a data repository
Quality curation
A commitment to long-term preservation
Features that support collaborative analysis
Features that allow you keep data private until you
are ready to publish.
Investigate data archiving options at your institution

When a specific data repository does not exist for your
field, we recommend:

Publish your data

The Data Journal concept


Data must be well described before others can
use it and benefit from it.
Scientists who share data in a reusable
manner deserve credit through citable
publications.
Data quality matters
