Research Data Management @ Queen's

Data are deposited in a repository towards the end of it the research lifecycle when it is ready for sharing and publication. Queen's University Library can guide researchers in selecting an appropriate repository to suit their needs.

Queen's University Library Supported Repositories

• Queen's University Dataverse Collection, which is part of Borealis, the Canadian Dataverse Repository. Our collection is managed by the Library to support the storage, versioning, licensing, and sharing of research data by Queen's researchers.

• Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) is a national multi-disciplinary repository offering ingest, curation, preservation, discovery and sharing of datasets (including those larger than 3GB).

Domain Repositories

Domain (or disciplinary) repositories are developed and managed by research communities, often with features to support the needs of specific data types.

• re3data.org is a directory of external, domain-based repositories to help researchers find a repository that meet their discipline-specific needs.
