Digital Research Data Sharing at WashU

Does WashU have a data repository?

WashU Libraries provide sharing and curation services for digital data and other research outputs (images, field sheets, spreadsheets, protocols, analysis scripts, etc.). Curation may include treatments such as review, documentation enhancement, transformation, and the preservation actions on digital objects for long-term access.
This service is available for research conducted by WashU affiliated individuals and groups.
The WashU Digital Research Materials Repository is a subset of the OpenScholarship institutional repository.
