Research Data Management

Curriculum and Support: Research Data at CWRU

CWRU provides resources and guidelines for the proper collection, stewardship, preservation, and publication of research data. The Research Data website collates these resources and provides additional opportunities for training and the option to schedule an research data consultation.

Deposit Data: Open Science Framework

OSF is an open source tool created and maintained by the Center for Open Science that allows for storing, sharing, and version control of all data types, documents, and files. Researchers at CWRU can create their own project pages to upload data, invite collaborators, and manage research workflows. With OSF, users can easily share data between platforms like Google Drive, Box, Github, and more. OSF also allows researchers to issue Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for their project as a whole or for individual files that make citing and providing access to datasets possible. Datasets or files assigned a DOI on OSF can be easily referenced and cited in corresponding Digital Case objects.

Deposit Data: Subject-Specific Repositories

These data repositories are for researchers at CWRU who don’t want to manage their own datasets, but do want that data to be openly available for sharing. CWRU has no official involvement with any of these data repositories, but [U]Tech maintains a list of various repositories applicable to the research happening on campus.
