Data Management and Sharing Requirements

Funder requirements for data sharing after completion of a research project typically involve selecting a data repository.

Your Data Management Plan will ask you to designate a repository where you intend to archive your research data permanently for public access.

The Researcher Support Services team would be happy to help you identify the best data repository for your research data. Email us at rdm@rowan.edu to schedule an appointment. Or, browse the recommendations in the boxes below.
