\n\t\tWhen planning their data management, it is important for researchers to decide upon the repository where they will store their data.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n\tRepositories are registred in\u00a0re3data<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n\tThere are four main types of repositories:\n<\/p>\n \n\tUniversal repositories <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tRepositories of this type accept data in all formats. However, in case of very specific formats it is more advisable to use subject repositories.\n<\/p>\n \n\tAdditional reading:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>General Repository Comparison<\/a>\u00a0is a tool for researchers to help select the best general repository for their data or other digital objects.\n<\/p>\n \n\tDisciplinary repositories\u00a0<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tRepositories of this type are essential to researchers because they support more specific formats and subject metadata standards. The number of such repositories is relatively large, here are a few examples of them:\n<\/p>\n \n\tSometimes research funders publish a list of accepted repositories, let us take a look at biomedical repositories<\/a> as an example. The list includes information how to submit and access the data.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n \n\tNational repositories<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tInstitutional repositories<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThese repositories are provided by universities.\n<\/p>\n \n\tA recent survey shows that researchers generally like to use their university repository, but are just as likely to use universal repositories (international + general-purpose on this graph):\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n\tResource:\u00a0European Commission, Directorate-General for Research and Innovation,\u00a0European Research Data Landscape \u2013 Final report, Publications Office of the European Union, 2022,\u00a0https:\/\/data.europa.eu\/doi\/10.2777\/3648<\/a>\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tUniversity of Tartu repository DataDOI<\/a> is a DSpace-based platform for permanent storage of research data. If a researcher cannot find a subject-based environment, which could ensure the preservation their data, it is possible to upload it on DataDOI; the data will also be assigned a DOI and metadata will be registered via DataCite.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n\tThe preservation and accessibility of data is ensured by the University of Tartu Library, which is the administrator of the repository. The administrator also guarantees updating of the repository software, its compliance with standards, the functioning of data exchange, etc. The target groups of this repository are single researchers and subunits\/work groups at the UT and outside, handling the so-called long tail data, whose volume is not very large. The UT researchers can use DataDOI free of charge.\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n\tOther data repositories, which are members of the DataCite Estonia Consortium<\/a> are listed on the DataCite Estonia web page<\/a>. All these repositories can use the same services as DataDOI.\n<\/p>\n \n\t\tIf you do not use the above-shown data centres, you should indicate the trustworthiness of the repository you have chosen.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \n\tQuality repositories can be searched with the help of Repository Finder<\/a> where you will get a list of repositories preserving the FAIR data.![\"re3data\"](\"https:\/\/sisu.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/301\/re3data.png\")

Several journals also recommend data repositories that meet the quality requirements of the journal, such as Nature Scientific Data Recommended Data Repositories<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
