Prepare to share, preserve and record your research data at the end of a project.

Research funders and publishers often require scholarly publications and their underlying data to be linked using persistent identifiers, which provide stable, longlasting references to digital content. The best known variety of persistent identifiers are Digital Object Identifiers (DOI). Depositing your data in DataShare will generate a DOI, as will creating a metadata record for it in PURE.
