Let us know what you think of the Publishing Strategy Guide:
Data
Publishing research data is becoming more common. Some journals and funding bodies now require publication of research data. There are several ways to publish your data, including:
- deposit datasets in an online repository
- submit the data for publication in a data journal. Read more about data journals in the Data Journals Guide from the Australian National Data Services

Questions to ask when publishing research data
- does the data have a DOI?
- is there adequate metadata?
- UNSW Research Infrastructure has some solutions for data storage
- see Where should I store my Data? in Research Data Management at UNSW
- you also have the option of investigating if your faculty has its own repository, or if there is a more suitable discipline specific repository that should have your data record or dataset on it

These questions all reflect the FAIR Data Principles: When research data is shared it should be in a way that is Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable. The Australian National Data Service outlines more aspects of FAIR Data. |
