Permanent access to research data is a challenge for all stakeholders in the scientific community. Long-term preservation and the principle of open access to research data offer broad opportunities for the scientific community. In the last decade, more and more universities and research centres established research data repositories allowing permanent access to data sets in a trustworthy environment. Due to disciplinary requirements, the landscape of data repositories is very heterogeneous. Thus, it is difficult for researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions to select appropriate repositories for storing and searching research data.</p> <p> Re3data is a global registry of research data repositories that covers research data repositories from different academic disciplines. It includes repositories that enable permanent storage of and access to data sets to researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions. re3data promotes a culture of sharing, increased access and better visibility of research data. The registry has gone live in autumn 2012 and has been funded by the <a href="http://www.dfg.de">German Research Foundation (DFG)</a>. </p> <p> Project partners in re3data are the <a href="http://www.ibi.hu-berlin.de">Berlin School of Library and Information Science </a>at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the <a href="https://os.helmholtz.de/">Helmholtz Open Science Office</a> at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, the <a href="http://www.bibliothek.kit.edu">KIT Library</a> at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the <a href="https://www.lib.purdue.edu">Libraries</a> of the Purdue University. The German partners are actively involved in the <a href="http://www.dini.de/english">German Initiative for Network Information (DINI) </a>and current research data management activities. </p> <p><a href="http://www.re3data.org/2013/07/re3data-org-is-moving-forward/">Publishers </a>and <a href="http://www.re3data.org/2013/09/new-repositories-and-functionalities/">journals</a> like Copernicus Publications, PeerJ, as well as Springer and Nature’s Scientific Data refer to re3data.org in their Editorial Policies as a tool for the easy identification of appropriate data repositories to store research data.</p> <p>The use of re3data is also recommended in the European Commission’s “<a href="http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/grants_manual/hi/oa_pilot/h2020-hi-oa-pilot-guide_en.pdf">Guidelines on Open Access to Scientific Publications and Research Data in Horizon 2020</a>”.</p> <p>In March 2013, re3data and Databib <a href="http://www.re3data.org/2014/03/datacite-re3data-org-databib-collaboration/">announced</a> to merge their two directories into one service that is managed under the auspices of <a href="https://datacite.org/">DataCite</a> since the end of 2015. The aim of this merger was to reduce duplication of effort and to better serve the research community with a single, sustainable registry of research data repositories that incorporates the best features of both projects.</p> <p>Starting in January 2020, the German Research Foundation (DFG) is funding re3data’s project “re3data - Community Driven Open Reference for Research Data Repositories (COREF)” over a period of 36 months. The goal of the project is to connect re3data as the reference for research data repositories with other services and infrastructures. Therefore, re3data is going to provide customizable and extendable core repository descriptions that are persistently identifiable and can be referred to and cited in an appropriate manner. This includes unique identification in machine-to-machine communication. The technical platform will be advanced to facilitate the reuse of reliable and trustworthy information on research data repositories. External parties and their integration of repository descriptions from re3data will play a major role in the project. Re3data will further develop its framework as a service for third parties to build applications and foster the usage of re3data as a community-driven source and reference for trustworthy repositories among the scientific community. This includes an elaborated API as well as easily embeddable widgets and tools.</p> <h2>Partners</h2> <p> <em>Berlin School of Library and Information Science</em> </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.ibi.hu-berlin.de/" rel="nofollow">Berlin School of Library and Information Science</a> is the only academic institution in German-speaking countries where students can obtain a BA, MA, or PhD in the field of Library and Information Science.
