Deposit your data

Before depositing your data in TRR170-DB repository, please read our information on how to register and upload your data. By using the TRR170-DB repository, you agree to the TRR170-DB Deposit Agreement.

Step 1: Create a user account / Log in

  • New users register here. 
  • Once we have created a TRR170-DB account for you, you are a confirmed new user. Login at TRR170-DB.
  • Registered users login at TRR170-DB.
  • Chose 'Add Data' in the menu. For files bigger than 5GB use this script here.
  • If you have any questions, please contact us.  


Step 2: Deposit your data


Create a dataset draft

  • Once you have logged in (see step 1), choose the Dataverse in which you are supposed to deposit your data:
  • If you are a member or employee of the TRR 170 go to TRR 170 archive.
  • All other users are supposed to choose the top-level collection (TRR170-DB).
    • Once you are in the right Dataverse, you can create a dataset draft by clicking on the Add Data button on the right hand side, and choose New Dataset.

Data license and attribution

Please note that the default license for reuse of data archived in the TRR170-DB repository is Creative Commons Zero (CC0). CC0 provides maximal reuse of your data. We support good scientific practice that entails that proper credit is given via citation. In case the CC0 license is not suitable for your data, please contact TRR170-DB support.

 

Upload data files

Before uploading your data, please refer to our section Prepare your data.

If you need any assistance in uploading your files, please contact TRR170-DB support.

 

  • To keep the folder (tree) structure of the files in your dataset, you have to pack the folders and single files into a container file (.zip).
  • Click on Select Files to Add and choose your files from your computer or server space.
  • When you have uploaded all the files in your dataset, click on Save Dataset. A draft of your dataset will be saved.
  • If your dataset contains a ReadMe file, place it on top of the file list. To achieve this, you can add an initial zero to the file name, e.g. “0_ReadMe.txt”.
  • If you have kept your folder structure by uploading a zip file, you need to select Tree View to be able to see the folder structure: Click the Tree button to the right of Change View on top of the file overview.

 

Step 3: Get your data published

  • Your dataset is still only a draft, and you still may change or delete it. If you would like to grant someone (e.g. journal editor, reviewers, etc.) access to the unpublished dataset, please contact the support services of your home institution.
  • Once you have entered all the necessary metadata and uploaded all the data files needed, click on Submit for Review. You will receive a notification by TRR170-DB that your dataset is submitted.
  • A TRR170-DB curator will review your metadata and files. Once your submission is approved, you will be notified, and the dataset will be published and will be open access.
