Researchers can deposit various data and related electronic materials to the repository, including spreadsheets, sensor and instrument data, surveys, GIS data, imagery, and associated material such as codebooks or data dictionaries. Any individual file uploaded to the repository must be under 4GB. However, file uploads over 2GB, and for some below that threshold, may be slow or stall due to variables outside of ASU’s control. If you have data files over 4GB, we will consider support options on a case-by-case basis and consult with your library liaison. Please email dataverse@asu.libanswers.com use our Contact Researcher Support form if you are having have trouble uploading files.
The ASU Library encourages data deposit from all disciplines. The repository accepts any data file type. However, it is advisable to provide data in open, non-proprietary file formats to ensure broader use for researchers with access to different analytic software.
The ASU Repository is not your only option for publishing your research data. A disciplinary-based repository may be a more appropriate choice, especially when your funder or publisher mandates you use a specific repository. Citing disciplinary repository submissions in your articles enables the discoverability of your dataset. If your alternative repository does not guarantee preservation services, you can still use ASU’s Repository as a secondary source.
By default, published data is assigned a CC0 license so that others may freely access and build upon the work. If appropriate, researchers can alter this license and create custom terms of use for their data.
The ASU Research Data Repository does NOT accept content that contains confidential or sensitive information and requires that contributors remove, replace, or redact such information from datasets before upload. Confidential or sensitive information refers to all identifiable information, such that re-identification of any subjects from the amalgamation of the information available from all of the materials is possible and can include: social security numbers; credit card numbers; medical record numbers; health plan numbers; other account numbers of individuals; or biometric identifiers (fingerprints, retina, voice print, DNA, etc.).
