Contributing to UKDA-store
If the Acquisitions Review Committee recommends accession of the dataset through
UKDA-store you will be specifically asked to submit data to the system.
UKDA-store is a self-archiving facility for managing and sharing research
outputs. UKDA-store enables a greater number of research data outputs to be
shared by researchers, particularly in cases where the UKDA may not have the
resources to acquire and store these data, or where the data simply do not fit
the UKDA’s collections development policy. The UKDA-store system can also link
to other kinds of outputs, such as academic publications held in existing
repositories. This includes existing publications held in
ESRC Society Today which holds primary outputs such as publications
arising from research grants.
For more infomation about the development see
What is UKDA-store?.
The first phase of UKDA-store is geared towards ESRC award holders who are
required to offer data outputs for sharing under the terms of their award
contract.
The first steps in contributing to UKDA-store are to:
-
prepare your data and documentation following best practice guidance on
managing and sharing data
-
upload your data into UKDA-store
-
publish your data in UKDA-store
An
FAQ for ESRC researchers contributing to UKDA-store
has been created to help answer any initial queries.
