Dryad and DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services) have announced a new collaboration to ensure long-term preservation and accessibility to curated scientific data.
The Dryad Digital Repository makes research data discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Over 50,000 researchers who have already deposited research data with Dryad can count on continuous open access to their data packages with an extra layer of security and recoverability as a result of this partnership.
Public content on Dryad servers, currently over 15,000 data packages and 50,000 files, will be backed up in the DANS archive regularly to minimise the risk of loss or corruption of data over time. DANS will also serve as Dryad's successor archive to maintain discoverability of Dryad Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) now and into the future. Metadata will be available in open access format to all researchers using the DANS online archiving system, EASY.
