Why deposit?
A common way for many researchers to share their data over the years has been to submit data as a supplementary file to a journal article. Some publishers are beginning to encourage researchers to deposit their data to repositories instead.
As appeals for public access of research data continue to proliferate, many scholarly publishers, alongside funders, institutions, and libraries are attempting to address DMP mandates.
Below is a list of recommended and trusted repositories, but it's critical for the Santa Clara community that you consider depositing in SCU Scholar Commons.
- Depositing with ICPSRDepositing data into ICPSR is free. Deposits are made using a secure data deposit form to describe the data collection and upload content.
