We do too See a research data item HERE <https://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/handle/88435/dsp01dz010s83s>. - this is an example of a small data set Neuro Science has sometimes huge datasets and I make researchers split their data into multiple zip archives - see for example THERE <https://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/handle/88435/dsp01pz50gz79z>. In these situations users can not download all files with one click. With big data sets researchers have to walk the line between 'not too many files’ and 'none of the files is too big to be downloaded'.
Then there is often a chicken and egg situation - researchers want the permanent URL for their data set, so they can send it to publishers, but they would also like to refer to the permanent URL of the published paper in the dataset submission. We usually archive the data set first and tell them to let us know when they have a publication URL, which we add on their behalf to the data set. In another use case: researchers tell the publishers about the permanent URL of the data collection, so they can finalize data files by incorporating the publishers/editors feedback before archival. We always try to impress on submitters that data sets should be final. I have a standard email that I send to new submitters that explains what they should be thinking about — see below Monika Prof XXX, I have set you up to submit to DataSpace [1]. I created an account so you can submit content to the CEE Research Data Set collection <https://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/handle/88435/dsp018049g519d> under Civil and Environmental Engineering. Please let me know if this is not the correct collection for your submission. Please keep in mind that content managed in DataSpace is made publicly available on the Internet. Data files should be provided in commonly used formats, so that users years from now will still be able to make sense of the data. Princeton’s Library guide on Research Data Management [2] has helpful information on data types and formats as well as recommendations on file naming and structure. There is a limit to the data file size. Since DataSpace delivers files to users via the HTTP protocol, big files can become problematic, especially if the receiver does not have a fast Internet connection. On the other hand you will not want to upload a very long list of files, since users would have to download files one by one by clicking on each. Combining files in tar/zip archive is a good way of bundling related data files. Several MBs even several GBs per file are fine, please do try though to stay under 10GB. We suggest to provide a ReadMe.txt file along with a short description of the data sets and any other information users might need to successfully use your data. Since most users will not download all files and we suspect many will skip downloading the ReadMe.txt file, we suggest including it in each tar/zip archive. In most cases reusing the same file everywhere should be fine. To start your submission you need to log into DataSpace [1]. Once logged in via the Central Authentication System, you will be redirected to your 'My DataSpace' page. Click the green 'Start a new Submission' button. Next Choose the collection you want to submit to. In your case you will have exactly one choice, the CEE Research Data Set collection under Civil and Environmental Engineering. After this you will move through several pages with forms; as usual you need to enter values in fields marked with a star. Other fields are optional. Please upload your files in the order that they should be displayed. We suggest to start with the ReadMe.txt file. In the last step please accept the license. For your reference I am including it at the end of this message. The DataSpace system will send an email, once you accept the license, to inform me about the submission. I will then perform a quick review and if everything looks good I will make the submission public. The system assigns at that point a permanent URL to your submission which you can share with your publisher. Looking forward to receiving your first submission, Monika [1] http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/mydspace <http://dataspace.princeton.edu/jspui/mydspace>[2] http://libguides.princeton.edu/rdm <http://libguides.princeton.edu/rdm> ----- Monika Mevenkamp [email protected] https://mo-meven.mcmprogramming.com/wp > On Feb 28, 2019, at 8:42 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > On Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 3:44:43 PM UTC-5, David Bigwood wrote: > Is anyone using DSpace as a repository for research data?
