[open-science] Putting together a list of science data archives

[Iain Hrynaszkiewicz]

A comprehensive list would be a great resource and I will happily share
the list of suggestions received (if preferable replies can be sent to
me direct rather than the whole Open Science list).

 

However, at this stage a not-so-comprehensive overview of what we know
is out there would also be very valuable. Obvious candidates are Dryad,
UKDA, PANGAEA etc but I'm sure there are many more.

 

Best,

 

Iain

Dear Open Science folks,

 

I am trying to put together a list of known archives for scientific data
- for Open Data and restricted access, pre- and/or post publication of
associated papers, and at the international, funder and institution
level (or all of the above).

 

I would appreciate any suggestions you can offer. In short, where can we
host data?


This is a large field and I would try to split it into disciplines and
find people in each to report. If you/we are trying to be fairly
comprehensive it's probably a lot of detailed work.  I am currently
convinced that this has to be done on a per-discipline basis
(http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/blogs/murrayrust/?p=2519 ).
