Dryad Digital Repository
Dryad is a curated general-purpose repository that makes data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable.
Most types of files can be submitted (e.g., text, spreadsheets, video, photographs, software code) including compressed archives of multiple files.
Figshare
Figshare is an open access data repository where researchers can preserve their research outputs, such as datasets, images, and videos and make them discoverable.
Figshare allows researchers to upload any file format and assigns a digital object identifier (DOI) for citations.
Harvard Dataverse Network
Harvard Dataverse is an online data repository where scientists can preserve, share, cite and explore research data.
The Harvard Dataverse repository is powered by the open-source web application Dataverse, developed by Insitute of Quantitative Social Science at Harvard.
Researchers, journals and institutions may choose to install the Dataverse web application on their own server or use Harvard's installation. Harvard Dataverse is open to all scientific data from all disciplines.
Harvard Dataverse is free and has a limit of 2.5 GB per file and 10 GB per dataset.
Open Science Framework
OSF is a free, open-source research management and collaboration tool designed to help researchers document their project's lifecycle and archive materials. It is built and maintained by the nonprofit Center for Open Science.
Each user, project, component, and file is given a unique, persistent uniform resource locator (URL) to enable sharing and promote attribution. Projects can also be assigned digital object identifiers (DOIs) if they are made publicly available.
Zenodo
Zenodo is a general-purpose open-access repository developed under the European OpenAIRE program and operated by CERN.
Zenodo encourages users to early on in their research lifecycle to upload their research outputs by allowing them to be private. Once an associated paper is published, datasets are automatically made open.
Zenodo has no restriction on the file type that researchers may upload and accepts dataset of up to 50 GB.
