The Data Repository service is a data publication platform for research datasets. Any data that has been used during research projects and is referred to in published articles can be stored on the platform in order to long-term preserve it and make it available to others.
You can start depositing right away by starting with the first step of the online deposit workflow and start uploading your data (requires registration). If you need to publish large datasets or have special requirements for your publication, please contact us.
Who can use the Data Repository?
The Data Repository is open to all researchers and scientists who are affiliated to research institutions, universities as well as to individual researchers. To deposit research data registration is required, as well as for access to and downloading files of specific privately-shared closed datasets.

So what does this all cost?
Uploading and publishing small datasets can be done for free, but requires registration and therefore approval of the service administrators. Larger datasets exceeding several gigabytes (GB) needs data Larger datasets need data publication contracts that can be requested and negotiated by contacting us. There is no limit on the number of deposits and/or collections you create.
...
If your dataset exceeds several gigabytes or even terabytes, it can be difficult or even impossible to upload the data through a browser to the Data Repository. This largely depends on the size of your dataset, the speed of your network connection and other technical limitations, such as browser timeouts. Also, the repository currently does not allow file sizes larger than 2 GB and a total size of 10 GB and 10 files for a new deposit.
To avoid these problems, please contactthe advisors of SURFsara to set up efficient data transfers to a separate storage location. Once transfers have completed, the advisors will help creating the deposits and collections.
