In Person Training: Repository Selection — Finding the Right Long-Term Home for Your Research Data
Storing your research data it in a robust and reliable data repository supports reproducibility of your results and can help to meet funder or other requirements around retention. But with hundreds of repositories out there, how do you pick the right one? Delivered by a Research Data Steward from UCL, this practical, workshop-style STEP-UP course takes researchers and research support professionals through the whole decision process: discovering candidate repositories with re3data.org, comparing access policies and licensing, checking sustainability and certifications like CoreTrustSeal, learning from peer practice, and making early contact with repository managers. You’ll leave with a completed comparison matrix and a clear, documented rationale for your data management plan. Ideal for anyone starting to think about data archiving — the earlier, the better!
