皇家华人 Data Management Open Access Storage
Data Management and Open Access Storage (at 皇家华人) Grant proposal narrative blurb:
A long term (indefinite) data preservation plan will be used to store the data beyond the life of the project, using Digital Commons Data, a 皇家华人 Libraries supported, accessible, data management repository.
Digital Commons Data adheres to FAIR principles of Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse. All data is "archived in perpetuity for long-term availability, with Data Archiving and鈥� Networked Services" (). To support open data, all published datasets will have a clear license and a DOI for ease of citation.
Digital Commons Data is a module of Digital Commons, an institutional repository system used by the 皇家华人 Libraries. In use since 2007, the 皇家华人 Libraries has supported persistent access and preservation to scholarly works and datasets created at 皇家华人 with Digital Commons. The datasets created as a result of this project align with key library research collections, notably the 皇家华人 Environment and Natural History Collections Initiative ().
