data</strong></h2> <p>Most major funders and an increasing number of journal publishers now expect data that underpin published findings or have potential value in future research to be made publicly available with as few restrictions as possible. The best way to ensure the long-term preservation, access and reuse of data is to deposit with a trusted data repository. Imperial’s <a href="/research-and-innovation/support-for-staff/scholarly-communication/research-data-management/imperial-policy/">research data management policy</a> also requires that Principal Investigators deposit data needed to validate published results with a public repository.</p> <p>The advantages of depositing your data with a repository include:</p> <ul> <li>You don’t have to worry about preserving the data yourself</li> <li>A permanent public record will be created to enhance the discoverability of your data</li> <li>Your data will be assigned a persistent identifier (e.g. DOI) making it easier for you and others to cite your data in publications</li> <li>Compliance with funder, journal and/or institutional data policies</li> </ul> <h2><strong>Discipline-specific repositories</strong></h2> <p>Where possible, we recommend depositing your data with a discipline-specific data repository. They have subject specialist expertise and the resources to manage specific types of data.</p> <p>Examples of discipline-specific data repositories:</p> <ul> <li><a title="GenBank link opens in a new window" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GenBank</a> (genetic sequences)</li> <li><a title="Protein Data Bank link opens in a new window" href="http://www.wwpdb.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Protein Data Bank</a> (protein structures)</li> <li><a title="Pangea link opens in a new window" href="https://www.pangaea.de/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pangea</a> (earth and environmental science)</li> <li><a title="HEPData link opens in a new window" href="https://www.hepdata.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HEPData</a> (high-energy physics data)</li> </ul> <p>You can also search for a repository by subject using the Registry of Research Data Repositories (<a title="re3data.org link opens in a new window" href="https://www.re3data.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">re3data.org</a>). </p> <p>Your funder may also support or recommend a particular repository:</p> <ul> <li>The ESRC funds the <a title="UK Data Service link opens in a new window" href="https://ukdataservice.ac.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UK Data Service</a></li> <li>The NERC hosts a network of <a title="environmental data centres link opens in a new window" href="https://nerc.ukri.org/research/sites/environmental-data-service-eds/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">environmental data centres</a></li> <li>Wellcome maintains a list of <a title="approved data repositories link opens in a new window" href="https://wellcomeopenresearch.org/for-authors/data-guidelines" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved data repositories</a></li> <li>The BBSRC includes links to domain-specific databases among its list of <a title="data sharing and data resources link opens in a new window" href="https://bbsrc.ukri.org/research/resources/#datasharing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data sharing and data resources</a></li> </ul> <p>Some publishers have also published lists of recommended data repositories:</p> <ul> <li><a title="Elsevier link opens in a new window" href="https://www.elsevier.com/authors/tools-and-resources/research-data/data-base-linking#repositories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Elsevier</a></li> <li><a title="PLOS link opens in a new window" href="https://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/recommended-repositories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PLOS</a></li> <li><a title="Royal Society link opens in a new window" href="https://royalsociety.org/journals/ethics-policies/data-sharing-mining/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Royal Society</a></li> <li><a title="Scientific Data link opens in a new window" href="https://www.nature.com/sdata/policies/repositories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scientific Data</a></li> <li><a title="Springer-Nature link opens in a new window" href="https://www.springernature.com/gp/authors/research-data-policy/recommended-repositories" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Springer-Nature</a></li> </ul> <h2><strong>General-purpose repositories </strong></h2> <p>If no discipline-specific repository or community resource is available, we recommend depositing with a general-purpose data repository.</p> <p>Examples of general-purpose data repositories:</p> <ul> <li><a title="Zenodo link opens in a new window" href="http://zenodo.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zenodo</a></li> <li><a title="Figshare link opens in a new window" href="http://figshare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Figshare</a></li> <li><a title="Dryad link opens in a new window" href="http://datadryad.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dryad</a></li> </ul> <p>Zenodo and Figshare both allow registered users to deposit data free of charge. Dryad charges a data publication fee, but some publishers have an agreement with Dryad to sponsor authors’ data publication charges. </p> <h2>Restricted access repositories</h2> <p>Not all data be made publicly available. Appropriate safeguards need to be in place before data that contain sensitive or confidential information can be shared. Some repositories provide a facility to control access to sensitive data.
