Research Data Management

FIU provides faculty and students the opportunity to archive and share their research data via the FIU Research Data Portal (RDP).

The FIU Research Data Portal serves as an inter-disciplinary data archive to support access and reuse of research data produced at FIU.

Funded by a student technology fee grant, the Research Data Portal is built on the Harvard Dataverse open source web application to help faculty and students share, preserve, cite, explore and analyze research data.

The mission of the Research Data Portal is to:

1. Provide an online centralized digital repository collection for enhanced discovery of institutional and unique research data across disciplines;
2. Archive at risk data essential to our student and faculty research in environmental sciences, Everglades research and climate change ensuring long term access;
3. Provide faculty and students data archiving services that enable PIs, researchers, and students the ability to appropriately manage, share, and preserve their research data in line with funder and publisher requirements.

Search the Collection or Submit Your Data rdm.fiu.edu

There are several resources that can assist you in finding discipline specific data repositories for archiving your research outcomes. These include:

re3data.org  (Registry of Research Data Repositories) 

re3data.org is a global registry of research data repositories that covers research data repositories from different academic disciplines. It presents repositories for the permanent storage and access of data sets to researchers, funding bodies, publishers and scholarly institutions.

Disciplinary Repositories Listing

This is a list of OA disciplinary repositories (also called central or subject repositories). Unless otherwise noted, they accept relevant deposits regardless of the author's institutional affiliation.

List of Federal Agency Repositories (CHORUS)

The table below list federal agency repositories. It is adapted from this table compiled by CHORUS. If your funding agency is not listed here, you will need to check with the agency of the repository listed for further information regarding deposit.

If you're looking to publish your research, journals will often require you to make your research data accessible. In most cases, they will clearly outline their data policy and recommend certain repositories. See a list of select publishers and their recommended data repositories.
