Research Guides: Research Data Management: SHARING & PUBLISHING

DATA SHARING & PUBLISHING

Sharing data and code is an important part of your work as a researcher and scholar. Some steps you'll have to take when publishing code and data are to:

Describe your data and describe your code using the standard metadata of your field!
Describe your research process and methodology!
Get a DOI for you and your data and code!
Select a repository where your materials can be made available to other researchers!

NYU REPOSITORY MEMBERSHIPS

NYU Libraries funds NYU's memberships in a few repositories that we consider to be conducting high-quality curation and helpful services for our community.

Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research
ICPSR maintains a data archive of more than 250,000 files of research in the social and behavioral sciences. Archiving data with ICPSR ensures the long-term preservation of data, protecting it from obsolescence, loss, or irreversible damage.

ICPSR works closely with researchers who submit their data collections for use by the social science research community. They provide in-depth curation services to help you maximize usability of your data.
Open Science Framework
We have an institutional membership with the OSF, a project management tool that can also be used to publish research materials.
Qualitative Data Repository
The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) is a dedicated archive for storing and sharing digital data (and accompanying documentation) generated or collected through qualitative and multi-method research in the social sciences and related disciplines.
More information less...
QDR offers a range of guidance and resources to facilitate and encourage the storing and sharing of data, and to help scholars who engage in qualitative and multi-method research to effectively use archived qualitative data. See more about our membership: https://qdr.syr.edu/membership

PERSISTENT IDENTIFIER FOR YOU

A persistent identifier is an identifier that is available and managed over time--this will not change if the object in question (say, a researcher or their dataset) is moved or renamed. This means that a persistent identifier allows for reliable future reference by humans and technology.

Get yourself an ORCID!

ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is an open, non-profit, community-based effort to provide a registry of unique researcher identifiers and a transparent method of linking research activities and outputs to these identifiers. By obtaining an ORCID, you have a persistent identifier that distinguishes you from other researchers that links you to all your research output and other professional activities. It allows you to be recognized, helps your data (and yourself!) become more discoverable, and can strengthen collaboration in the research community!

The best part is--it's free! Register to get your own ORCID identifier!
