Guidance for Sharing Research Data

Duke University is committed to the preservation, safeguarding, and responsible sharing of research data in accordance with academic, scientific, and legal standards. These standards reflect the evolving expectations from research funders and scientific journals that researchers maximize their data sharing efforts.

To support Duke researchers in sharing their research data, a new resource is available on MyResearchPath. This guidance outlines fundamental principles for the sharing and dissemination of research data conducted within or under the auspices of Duke University. It includes a useful data repository finder tool that features repositories either owned or supported by Duke University that will help you get started on choosing the best place to deposit your data.

For detailed information, please review the Guidance for Sharing Research Data. These guidelines should be considered alongside relevant laws, regulations, standards, contractual terms, and University policy.
