Choose a repository
Once the information rich EML metadata has been created, the next
step is to publish the data package in a repository. Before uploading,
it’s a good practice and a common courtesy to contact the repository of
interest because some repositories:
- are science domain specific
- are funding source specific
- are better at serving particular data types
- are recommended by journals
- are certified trust worthy
- have valuable user features
- offer sandbox environments for testing data package display prior to
publication
- have limits on the volume of data that can be uploaded
- have unique upload procedures
- have support staff to help with uploads
- require a user ID and password
