Scientific Data - re3data – Indexing the Global Research Data Repository Landscape Since 2012

re3data blog

The present study investigates the policy perspective of Indian research data repositories indexed in the re3data registry. The study analyses the policies and terms of 36 RDRs, including the funding obligations of the institution. Each RDR's general and terms sections were explored, and the information was exported to an Excel sheet for further analysis. The study identified that there are only 29 active RDRs available as per the information available on the database, and the other 7 RDRs are inactive/unavailable. Most of the RDRs (n = 30) provide some policy information on the database; however, there is no uniformity in the classification of these policies. The study's findings emphasise the need for a more thorough and structured policy for RDRs, which will enhance the utility of the repositories and pave the way for global collaboration
