Something to ponder…
It’s free to upload your data to Zenodo (@ CERN), provided each of the separate data files (not the combined dataset, but each file) is below 2GB. I regularly work with 3D data, and have been able to decimate and compress my scans (ASCII.ply) to get well below the 2GB threshold in most cases. See an example of a Zenodo community here (https://zenodo.org/collection/user-bdnhs-3d). I can easily build a community where all of us can store data (or even just citations for data; would be up to each user). While I do think the pubs may be better (and more easily) cataloged using GitHub, data can be a bit more sensitive. With Zenodo, each entry is provided with a DOI (or you can enter the DOI from your publication if your data was included), and you can select the appropriate Creative Commons license for each entry (more on Creative Commons licenses here - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/). This ensures that you get credit for generating those data. Additionally, if you want to store your data, but are reticent to make the actual dataset available (because of a pending publication or other sensitive issue), Zenodo allows you to embargo datasets (either indefinitely, or for a prescribed time period). They’re not the only digital repository out there, but it’s the one that I use—so the one I’m most familiar with. Anyone else use another repository that might fit our needs as a community? Would be ideal if there were no fees for uploading data/citations. Best, Zac From: Jonathan Hendricks [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 09, 2016 10:39 AM To: Robert Z.
