Is the dryad data repository a general repository?


Asked by Katelyn Guerrero on Dec 10, 2021 FAQ



Dryad used to be for specific disciplines only, but is categorized as a general data repository because it now accepts data from all disciplines. However, if you are submitting data to Dryad to comply with certain publisher or funder requirements, check which data repositories they recommend before submitting your data to Dryad.
Keeping this in consideration,
Dryad is a curated general-purpose repository that makes data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. The scientific, educational, and charitable mission of Dryad is to promote the availability of data underlying findings in the scientific literature for research and educational reuse.
Furthermore, The NC State University Libraries is an Institutional Member of the Dryad Digital Repository, a platform that makes research data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Dryad provides a general-purpose home for a wide diversity of data types.
Subsequently,
Dryad is a nonprofit membership organization that is committed to making data available for research and educational reuse now and into the future. Modest Data Publishing Charges help ensure our sustainability.
Accordingly,
Dryad provides a general-purpose home for a wide diversity of data types. It also integrates with Zenodo, a general use repository hosted at CERN that has been paving the way in software citation and publishing.
