DANS Data Stations
DANS Data Stations
A DANS Data Station is a domain-specific digital repository for research data. Individual researchers or groups of researchers can store their datasets in a secure digital environment, with comprehensive metadata, version control, and tools to auto-complete information.
Additionally, it will be possible to link datasets in this data station to data portals, platforms, and specific websites, making datasets even more findable and reusable for both scientific and non-scientific users. There is a Data Station for Archaeology, Social Sciences and Humanities, Physical & Technical Sciences, and a Data Station for Life Sciences.

DATAVERSE NL
DATAVERSE NL
DATAVERSE was orignally created by Harvard for preserving, sharing and publishing data. DATAVERSE NL is the Dutch instance of this system. It is maintained by DANS and managed in collaboration with Utrecht University.
For Utrecht University researchers a dataverse per faculty is set up. Within your faculty dataverse you can apply for your own dataverse for your department or project. This may be viewed as your own repository, and is managed by you.
More information can be found on the website of the University Library or go directly to the Dataverse manual.
