Why publish with DataShare?

Findable

Users discover your data published on DataShare through Google, library searches, and other search engines.

Stable and citable

All datasets in DataShare are assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) which is a unique string of text and numbers that will link to your dataset no matter how many upgrades or server changes the repository goes through. Furthermore, DataShare is managed and mantained by the University Library which is dedicated to supporting and preserving the research and scholarship of the university.

Curated

All data in DataShare is examined by a librarian before it's published. This step takes a little bit of extra time but it's worth it as it: librarians will help you correct errors and create documentation to ensure your data can be found, preserved, and reused.
