Sharing research data via Researchdata.se
Making research data accessible and ensuring its long-term preservation is often the final step of a research project. When shared, research material becomes visible, searchable, reusable, citable, and can even be peer-reviewed.
Data can be shared in two main ways:
- Via a data repository, where it is stored long-term, described using standardized metadata for international discoverability, and assigned a persistent identifier (e.g., DOI).
- As a supplement to a journal article, though this often lacks the same level of metadata and preservation.
Share via Researchdata.se
Swedish National Data Service (SND) is a national infrastructure that supports the accessibility, preservation, and reuse of research data. Researchers submit data and metadata through a web form. Each dataset receives:
- A detailed metadata description
- A persistent identifier
- Inclusion in Researchdata.se's searchable catalogue
Researchers retain control over how and by whom their data is used. The submission platform where you can describe your data sets is called DORIS (Data Organisation and Information System).
