Publishing Research Data
Scientific research often generates large volumes of digital data in a wide variety of forms. The open publication of this data (open data) ensures that it becomes visible and citable, is permanently available and can be reused by the scientific community and the public. This applies both to research data that is part of or supplements a traditional publication, as well as to data published independently of any traditional publication.
To support the publication of your research data, we offer Gutenberg Open Science, the institutional Open Access repository at JGU. The repository adheres to the FAIR principles for metadata and data (in English).
We are happy to assist you with any questions regarding data publication on Gutenberg Open Science. Please contact us at publikationssysteme@ub.uni-mainz.de
Especially for Digital Humanities projects, Gutenberg Capture, our digitization portal, and Gutenberg Images, our image database, may serve as useful resources in your data planning.
In our handout Legal Questions on Sharing Research Data, we have compiled essential legal questions and answers to guide you
