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 platform resource center.

 

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.
