About this activity
Objectives:
- Identify a suitable repository for my data
- Identify the file formats the repository accepts
- Prepare metadata for the repository
Create a data publication plan for your project
- Identify the set of files that you want to publish
- Go back to the second part of Data Publication module (Planning for data publication)
- Follow the steps to create a data publication plan for your own project. Consider the following questions:
- What types of outputs will you be creating or collecting?
- What are suitable repositories for your outputs?
- What are the documentation guidelines for the repositories? Which formats for data and metadata are required to be able to submit?
- Under what licenses will your research outputs be shared?
Prepare metadata for the repository
- Once you have identified the repository, have a look at the SciLifeLab RDM Guidelines to see if there are any specific guidelines or metadata templates for the repository you have chosen.
- Start preparing the metadata required for the repository you have chosen.
- Consider transforming files to the required formats for the repository you have chosen.
More guidance can be found in the Data piblication module and on SciLifeLab RDM Guidelines
