Working with Data

Share and Preserve Your Data

  • Use the FAIR Data Principles to ensure that your data is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-useable
  • CU Scholar can be used to publish your research data
  • Digital Object Identifier (DOI) Services: The Libraries are a member of DataCite, the leading global provider for datasets. Through this membership we can register DOIs for data housed in our repositories enabling data to be persistently identified, accessed, and cited. We are also open to working with other CU affiliated unites that need to register their own DOIs as long as their systems adhere to accepted best practices. 
  • Open Science Framework for Institutions (OSF) is a research collaboration tool that can be used to share and manage data and other project materials
