Selected Data Repositories

Data Repositories
This is a list from Simmons College of repositories and databases for open data. Grouped by discipline.
Data ONE
Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) is ... a distributed framework and sustainable cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data. Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (Phase 1 Grant #ACI-0830944, Phase 2 Grant #ACI-1430508) as one of the initial DataNets, DataONE will ensure the preservation, access, use and reuse of multi-scale, multi-discipline, and multi-national science data.
Dataverse (Harvard)
Dataverse is an open source web application to share, preserve, cite, explore, and analyze research data. It facilitates making data available to others, and allows you to replicate others' work more easily. Researchers, journals, data authors, publishers, data distributors, and affiliated institutions all receive academic credit and web visibility.
Dryad Digital Repository
The Dryad Digital Repository is a curated resource that makes the data underlying scientific publications discoverable, freely reusable, and citable. Dryad provides a general-purpose home for a wide diversity of datatypes.
figshare
figshare is a repository where users can make all of their research outputs available in a citable, shareable and discoverable manner. Limit your search by type to "Dataset."

ICPSR -- Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research
Historic and current (Restricted to ODU)

Provides access to a vast archive of social science data. ICPSR's data holdings are for use with statistical software, such as SAS, SPSS, and Stata. A unit within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, ICPSR has over 640 member colleges and universities around the world. First time users must create an account.

NIH Data Sharing Repositories
Listing of NIH-supported data repositories that make data accessible for reuse.
re3data
RE3 [The REgistry of REsearch Data REpositories] is a powerful search tool for finding research data repositories worldwide.
Recommended Data Repositories (from Nature)
"Nature" asks authors "to submit datasets to an appropriate public data repository. Data should be submitted to discipline-specific, community-recognized repositories where possible, or to generalist repositories if no suitable community resource is available."
SHARE
SHARE is a higher education initiative whose mission is to maximize research impact by making a comprehensive inventory of research widely discoverable, accessible, and reusable. You can limit your search to "Data Set.".
Zenodo
Zenodo is a digital repository for research across all fields of science. Limit to "Dataset."
