Data Sharing: Generalist Repositories Ecosystem Initiative

About this Class

Generalist repositories offer NIH researchers a flexible, trusted resource to share data for which there is no appropriate discipline specific repository as well as to share many other research outputs valuable for reproducibility and open science. This webinar, presented by participants of the NIH Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) (Dataverse, Dryad, Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, Vivli, and Zenodo) will share generalist repository use cases and best practices for sharing and finding data in generalist repositories. It will describe how generalist repositories fit into the NIH data repository landscape for intramural researchers and can be part of meeting the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy requirements. It will present both the key common features of generalist repositories that meet the NIH desirable repository characteristics as well as the unique features of these repositories that make them suited to specific types of data.
