Archive your research data

4TU.ResearchData manages a data repository for technical-scientific research data that stores the data in a permanent and sustainable manner, according to the guidelines of the international Data Seal of Approval. The Data Seal demonstrates that we take the necessary measures to ensure the long-term availability and quality of data we hold.

Making your data available in 4TU.ResearchData helps researchers meet the FAIR data principles to make research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR). The data in our repository have persistent identifiers, be citable through a data citation, be as much as possible machine and human readable and have a license that guarantees openness and reusability.


The upload process

Who can upload?

Every researcher who has completed, technically scientific research data can upload this research data in our data repository.

Why archiving

You keep your data safe and readable in the long term

As software and hardware evolve over time, it can be very difficult to keep up. As a result, important files often become lost or unreadable within a matter of years. 4TU.ResearchData is able to maintain your digital files and ensures that they remain usable over time.

You can comply to funder requirements

Research funders (e.g. the EC in Horizon2020, NWO, ZonMw) are increasingly adopting grant conditions with regard to the management and publication of research data. The reason behind this is that research data, produced in the context of a publicly funded research project, should be freely made available for reuse and verification.

Raise the impact of your research

By depositing at 4TU.ResearchData you make your data easily  accessible to more people than ever before. The more people who  can use your data, the more public good it can do and the more it can do to enrich your field of research.

Raise your research profile

The more other researchers cite your data, the more they will know and admire your work. As the trend toward online open access rises, the prestige associated with data citations is growing. In addition, making your data available can increase the credibility of your analyses.
