Research data

Research data are many and diverse. Research data can include experimental results (e.g. measurement data), information about experimental conditions (e.g. environmental parameters), as well as information from material or sample collections. It can also include texts and information from surveys, or parameters from software and simulations. Research data are of most importance for our work. It is important, on the one hand, that the volume of data remains manageable and, on the other hand, that it meets sufficient (quality) standards.

Jülich DATA : Research data repository at Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH

Jülich DATA is the institutional research data repository at Forschungszentrum Jülich and serves as a reference system for data output.
Jülich DATA - Institutional repository for research data of Forschungszentrum Jülich

A platform for data publication
Employees of Forschungszentrum Jülich can publish their research data in Jülich DATA. Uploaded data are automatically assigned a DOI, which allows them to be cited. This creates an effective new publication channel that increases the visibility of research and encourages exchange across science.

e!DAL: Electronic Data Archive Library

The e!DAL electronic data archive library is a free (CC BY-ND 4.0) open-source software infrastructure developed by IPK Gatersleben to FAIRly maintain and publish in-house stored research data. This covers in particular cross-domain datasets that are not being published in central repositories because of its volume or unsupported data scope, like comprehensive image collections from plant phenotyping, genotyping data, or (custom made) software and documents. e!DAL supports requirements from funding agencies,journals and several metadata standards, like DublinCore or Schema.org and is accepted by BioSharing.org, re3data.org and OpenAIRE. More information and demonstration videos can be found here: http://edal.ipk-gatersleben.de/media.html

It provides a convenient submission tool with an embedded review process and login via ELIXIR AAI to publish research data as a DOI citable dataset. The Data Submission Tool to JPPC’s instance based on the e!DAL infrastructure is available as a stand-alone application for three different platforms:

• Windows: Link zur EXE-Datei
• Linux: Link zur sh-Datei
• MacOS: Link zur dmg-Datei
  Note: Each download provides a ZIP archive containing one platform-specific file that must be unpacked before execution.
  

A short manual illustrating the Data Submission Tool and the subsequent reviewing process can be found here: http://edal-pgp.ipk-gatersleben.de/document/manual.html

e!DAL provides comprehensive reporting of key performance indicators such access counts, data download volume and client location.
