- Funders, institutions and journals may specify where data should be placed in specialist data archives, platforms, or institutional repositories. These guarantee long-term storage and back up of data, alongside managed re-use. There are disadvantages, though, because for instance grant-funded subject repositories occasionally, that don’t have sustainable business models may shut down after their funding runs out, so it is important to have a plan ready in case this occurs.
- Self-archiving platforms allow you to upload your research data. These platforms allow for quick upload of data with minimal metadata requirements. They then receive a catalogue record, licence, and Digital Object Identifier for citation.
- re3data.org offer a searchable registry of more than a thousand data services. Many of the services are disciplinary, where it is possible to share specialized research data with relevant communities. They often have special features for disciplinary data. The data will be more likely to be seen of people that more easily understand them.
