Why should I use DataShare?

Answer

There are three main reasons to use Datashare:

  1. Your data is findable. Users can discover your data through Google, library searches, and through other platforms.
  2. Your data is stable and citable. All datasets in DataShare are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which is a unique string of text and numbers that will link to your dataset no matter how many upgrades or server changes the repository goes through.
  3. Your data is curated. All data in DataShare is examined by a librarian before it's published. This step takes a little bit of extra time but it's worth it! Librarians will help you correct errors and create documentation to ensure your data can be found, preserved, and reused.
