Publishing research data

Research data can be published on the internet through:
  • generic web archives (e.g. archive.org)
  • research data sites (e.g. figshare)
  • thematic repositories dedicated to a specific discipline / subject area - sadly there is no sign of an appropriate repository for digital music and audio research
  • institutional repositories dedicated to research from a specific organisation (e.g. QMUL have a repository through which Green open access copies of papers can be published).

Within the Centre for Digital Music, we now have a research data repository for publishing reserach data outputs from the group.

Journals

Of the journals most commonly asssociated with C4DM outputs, three allow the addition of supplemental materials when publishnig a paper:

The Journal of the Audio Engineering Society doesn't currently support data attachments for papers.

The Digital Curation Centre have a (very short) list of repositories .

Repositories using DSpace can be registered on the DSpace web-site, for inclusion in the list of Who's using DSpace ? .

Within the University of London, the School of Advanced Study has a repository of humanities-related items.

University of the Arts London have an online repository
