To share or open up research data, these need to be deposited in a trustworthy data repository that promotes the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) publication of data.

 

Choosing a data repository

 

A flowchart at the bottom of the page will help you choose a repository.

 

Thematic repositories are available in disciplines that are structured to share data.

To find a thematic repository, contact:

• thematic reference centres
• data management clusters
• the re3data directory also lists many national and international repositories.

The Research Data College of the Committee for Open Science proposes a method for identifying trusted thematic repositories, as well as a list of trusted repositories.

If no thematic repository is identified, data producers can deposit their data to (in order of priority):

• An institutional warehouse, if applicable;
• Recherche Data Gouv's institutional multi-disciplinary repository;
• The generic space in Recherche Data Gouv's multidisciplinary repository.

For any questions, please contact the local data management cluster or Recherche Data Gouv's repository-registry.

 

The objective of the flowchart below is to help people depositing data identify where they can publish their dataset. It is available in a PDF with green background / PDF with white background.
