Several organizations have begun compiling lists of
repositories of research data. These can
be useful for researchers both to consider where to deposit their data, as well
as for discovery for secondary data use.
DataBib
Tool to identify repositories of research data. Users can search (including field-level
searching) or browse by subject or title.
Each entry provides a description, standardized subjects, access, start
date, and country, among other qualities.
Anyone is able to suggest or edit repository listings, which then are
reviewed and committed by an editorial board.
This is the same list that is re-displayed on the DataCite web site. Hosted by the Purdue University Libraries.
re3data.org
Project whose goal it is to create a global registry of
research data repositories. Database can
be searched or browsed (by subject, content type, or country). Each entry provides a description and is
tagged with standardized subjects, content types, and countries, as well as
information on institutions, terms/policies, and standards. Managed by the re3data.org Project Consortium
with initial funding from the German Research
Foundation DFG.
Data repositories
Simple listing of repositories and databases for data. Single page lists repositories by subject
category and provides a brief description and links. Users can add or annotate entries. Part of the Open Access Directory, hosted by
the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College.
