Since 2019, the UCL Research Data Repository has given all staff and research students the tools they need to deposit, archive, publish and promote their research outputs.
About the repository
In June 2019, the听Research Data Management team in Library Services听and the Research Data Group in the听Centre for Advanced Research Computing听came together to provide a听brand new service - the听听(UCL听RDR). Since then, we have听published hundreds of records archiving research outputs for staff and research students across UCL.听The UCL RDR supports almost all file formats and we can assign digital object identifiers () to published items.
The items we can publish听include:听fully anonymised,听non-sensitive datasets, figures, posters, presentations, software, data management plans, workflows and models.
Storage
Users have an initial individual storage limit of 50GB and any projects created have an initial limit of 100GB (where greater storage is needed, users can make these requests via their accounts.) We ask that all items be accompanied by data documentation (metadata) and that the user has assigned the appropriate usage licence.听Users can also apply temporary听embargoes where these are necessary.
Benefits of using the UCL RDR
- Secure long term data preservation and curation: 10+ years
- 厂迟辞谤补驳别:听access and听data sharing听worldwide.
- Compliance:听meets听funders' requirements听for听.
- Multiple formats: supports听.
- Increased citations: published research data has听its own听DOI.
- Discoverability: aids discovery and leads to new partnerships.
- Defines reuse: applies听听and other licences.
- Embargo: research outputs can be embargoed听where听necessary.
- Team collaboration: data can be added to defined听project spaces.
