How is this problem currently addressed? We can find a few cases in the wild:
| Service | Data Repository Recommendation |
|---|---|
| U of I Research Data Service | "Deposition of data into a web-accessible repository is generally the preferred mechanism for public data sharing because it ensures wide-spread and consistent access to the data. If your discipline already has a trusted repository, we recommend you deposit where your community knows to look. To find a repository, re3data.org is a large, vetted, and searchable catalog of data repositories. If no discipline-specific repository exists, there are several options, including Illinois’ IDEALS repository (free) and other general-purpose repositories like DataDryad (fee-based)." |
| Elsevier | List of supported data repositories |
| Nature | "Supporting data must be made available to editors and peer-reviewers at the time of submission for the purposes of evaluating the manuscript...For information about suitable public repositories, see sections that follow." |
| PLOS | PLOS Data Repository Recommendation Guide "PLOS has identified a set of established repositories below, which are recognized and trusted within their respective communities. Additionally, the Registry of Research Data Repositories (Re3Data) is a full scale resource of registered repositories across subject areas. " |
A researcher at the U of I looking for a repository to publish their data has several options: select a field-specific repository based on funding agency or publisher requirements from curated lists, search re3data.org, or use their local institutional repository.
...
| Registry | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Re3Data | Registry of research data repositories | Started from Databib, crowd-sourced. Metadata is too general for search; user feedback "precision is horrible"; not based on natural language |
| Biosharing.org | Registry of databases and policies for life/environmental/bio sciences | Schema based on BioDBCore: http://biocuration.org/community/standards-biodbcore/ Data is not available, but will be. |
| Cinergi | Community Inventory of EarthCube Resources for Geosciences Interoperability | Curated database of geoscience information resources |
| OpenAIRE | OpenAIRE data provider search | Publishes guidelines for data archives |
| LA Referencia | ||
| bioCADDIE | Data discovery index | Index of data "do for data what pubmed did for literature" |
| OpenDOAR | Directory of open-access repositories | |
| SHARE | Index of research activities/outputs including data management plans, grant proposals, preprints, presentations, and data repository deposits |

Factors/motivations
Reviewing the above publisher lists and registries, we can identify factors in the recommendation of repositories to researchers:
...
- Responding to request from funding agency. Might need different characteristics (needs DOI, linking etc)
- Has very large data (university can't handle it, domain repos can't handle it)
- Has specific availability requirements (5 years, 10 years)
- Is really complicated (has a lot of contextual information, does the service support it)
- Sharing – not responding to regulatory requirement – just wants to make things available for reuse
Draft Questions for service providers?
- Do researchers come to you looking for places to put their data?
- Of those that come to you, do you have some estimate of the percentage of those that eventually do find a place to put their data?
- Thinking about the researchers that come to you, what is the typical consultation like? What types of questions or concerns do they have?
- Do you notice any common challenges or themes across the campus for researchers looking for places to deposit data?
- What are some of the tools you recommend and how well do they meet the needs of the researcher?
- Do you have any ideas of tools or services that could help you/them better?
- We’re thinking of this service (describe current vision of recommender), what do you think? Would it be useful?
- Are there any departments/researchers/labs that you think are representative of this problem that we could talk to? (Looking for most common cases)
- Is there anyone else working in this space that you think we should talk to?
