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

To help you choose the right data repository, a flowchart is available at the bottom of the page.

It is recommended that you opt for a trusted thematic repository when possible.

To find a thematic repository, you can:

• Consult the list of trusted thematic repositories compiled by the Committee for Open Science's Research Data College based on a methodology detailed in this report;
• Contact the reference centres for the subject area concerned;
• Contact one of the data management clusters.

If no thematic repository has been identified, producers of data may submit, in order of priority, to:

• an institutional space of the multidisciplinary Recherche Data Gouv repository (https://recherche.data.gouv.fr/en/institutions);
• the generic space of the Recherche Data Gouv repository.

If you have any questions, please contact your local data management cluster (https://recherche.data.gouv.fr/en/data-management-cluster), or the Recherche Data Gouv platform resource centre.

The dynamic flowchart was designed to help contributors identify where they can publish their dataset. It can also be downloaded as a PDF with a green or white background.
