About this Class
Generalist repositories are a flexible, trusted resource for sharing research data for which there is no appropriate discipline specific repository as well as many other research outputs valuable for reproducibility and open science. This webinar is presented by participants of the Generalist Repository Ecosystem Initiative (GREI) (Dataverse, Dryad, Figshare, Mendeley Data, Open Science Framework, Vivli, and Zenodo), an NIH program supporting the enhancement of generalist repository functionality to better support NIH data sharing use cases. The GREI repositories will share generalist repository use cases and best practices for sharing and finding data and describe how generalist repositories fit into the wider data repository landscape and how they can be part of meeting the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy requirements. It will present both the key common features of the GREI 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.
