Research Data Management

Preserve your data

Data preservation is a series of managed activities necessary to ensure continued access to your research data as long as necessary.

Deposit your data in a data repository: A data repository makes your data publicly available online.

Scholarworks is the Institutional Repository for UMass Boston. You can find more more information on the Scholarworks website or on the Scholarworks library guide.

You might want to review other possible repositories for your data. A great place to search or browse through repositories is the Registry of Rseearch Data Repositories website: https://www.re3data.org/

We do not suggest that you share your data solely on a personal website. This option is not recommended due to the significant time commitment to maintain a personal website over time.
