Use Cases
- The journal to which I submitted my paper has asked me to publish my evidence data. I don’t know where to publish the data.
- A research funding agency has asked me to release my data. I have prepared the data, but I am not sure if it meets the conditions for data publication, such as contracts, laws, and practices of the research community.
- I want to preserve the evidence data of the paper for a long period of time. If we are asked to disclose the data, we will respond to the request, but we cannot release the data to the public.
- The image data and figure data published in the paper are too small to view. I would like to publish larger figures.
- I would like to release supplementary data for my paper and include the DOI in the manuscript of my paper.
- The data is ready, but we want to keep it private for a while. We would like to postpone the release of the data.
- The data is ready. I would like to license the data so that researchers around the world can make use of it.
- I have created so much data that I cannot analyze it all by myself. I would like the data to be analyzed by many people by putting it in a standard format and making it available to the public.
- The data will be published on our own server. We would like to put a DOI on the data.
- We have been publishing data on our own server, but have decided to discontinue operation. We are looking for a new place to publish the data.
- We want to release data in accordance with the FAIR Principles. However, we do not know exactly how to do this.
