UIC Data Storage Finder
Data Storage Finder allows to explore different storage options available at UIC. Researchers can use filters on the left of the page to identify the research data storage services that match their data best. Checking several storage options allows to compare them on several criteria in a separate table below.
UIC Institutional Repository - INDIGO
- INDIGO - UIC Institutional's RepositoryThe University Library hosts INDIGO, our institutional and data repository, on the figshare platform. This is a generalist repository which can accept smaller non-sensitive datasets or where you can create a metadata only "catalog-style" record for identifying where and how your data can be accessed.
- About INDIGOUIC Libguide page about INDIGO and the benefits of submitting your material into the institutional repository.
- Submission RequirementsGuidance on the submission requirements, as well as the process of material submission into the repository.
- Depositing DataUIC Libguide page on types of data accepted in INDIGO and how to prepare your data for deposit (including guidance on data selection, formatting, file names, README files and metadata).
- Metadata Only RecordsIn some cases researchers might need to upload a metadata only record, which allows to inform others about data that can be requested for re-use given the correct security and credentials.
This resource includes the guidance on how to upload metadata only records to INDIGO.
NSF Public Access Repository
NSF requires principal investigators who publish peer-reviewed journal articles or juried conference papers to deposit a copy of the item (either the final accepted version or the version of record, as defined in NSF's public access plan) in NSF-PAR.
Additionally, NSF encourages principal investigators to make their peer-reviewed journal publications and juried conference papers available to the public through NSF-PAR.
Information on submitting publications can be found here.
Registry of Research Data Repositories
- Registry of Research Data RepositoriesThis long-standing website hosts a global and multidisciplinary list of data repositories. Researchers can search for discipline-specific repositories and narrow results based on type and amount of data as well as duration of storage.
