Background
re3data.org is a global registry of research data repositories from all academic disciplines. It provides an overview of existing research data repositories in order to help researchers to identify a suitable repository for their data and thus comply with requirements set out in data policies.[1][2] The registry went live in autumn 2012.[3]
Content
In 2023 the registry lists over 3000 research data repositories from around the world covering all academic disciplines. They are described in detail using the re3data.org schema.[4] The service makes all metadata in the registry available for open use under the Creative Commons deed CC0.[5]
Features
The majority of the listed research data repositories are described in detail by a comprehensive schema, namely the re3data.org Schema for the Description of Research Data Repositories.[6] Information icons support researchers to identify an adequate repository for the storage and reuse of their data.[3]
Inclusion criteria
A repository is indexed when the minimum requirements for inclusion in re3data.org are met: the repository has to be run by a legal entity, such as a sustainable institution (e.g., library, university) and clearly state access conditions to the data and repository as well as the terms of use. Additionally, an English graphical user interface (GUI) plus a focus on research data is needed.[6]
Partners and cooperation
re3data.org was initiated as a joint project funded by the
Several publishers, research institutions and funders refer to re3data.org in their editorial policies and guidelines as a tool for the identification of suitable data repositories, such as Springer Nature[7] the European Commission[8] or the National Science Foundation (NSF).[9]
