Research Data Repository
Data repositories are digital archives collecting, preserving, and making available research data and their metadata. Permalink is a comfortable means for linking and citing datasets. Publishing data in a research data repository helps to increase the number of research citations.
TalTech Data is a general-purpose open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN. It allows researchers to deposit research papers, data sets, research software, reports, and any other research related digital artifacts. Research results can be found, referenced, and shared over a long period of time.
Repositories are divided:
-
Institutional research data repositories – e.g. Edinburgh DataShare, Harvard Dataverse
-
National data repositories – e.g. UK Data Service, The Australian National Data Sevice - ANDS
-
Disciplinary research data repositories – e.g. PANGAEA, DataverseNo - TROLLing DataONE
-
Multidisciplinary research data repositories – e.g. ZENODO, DRYAD
-
Project-specific research data repositories - e.g. Scientific Drilling Database
Data repositories are enrolled in registers
