In this pilot program, graduate students submitting Master’s Theses and Doctoral Dissertations will be provided with the opportunity to archive finalized research data sets associated with their published ETD. These data sets will be openly available and virtually connected to the ETD in Digital Commons, the university’s institutional repository. A collaboration between the FIU Libraries and the University Graduate School, this pilot program seeks to
- Establish data submission guidelines
- Develop strategies for educating graduate students on data archiving
- Assess data storage capabilities and needs for long term storage and access to data.
