By depositing your data in one of our data stations you ensure that your data are stored for the long term and are sustainably archived. You can describe your data with domain-specific metadata to ensure they are well documented. You can make your data available to others for reuse, but you can also choose to restrict access, for instance if your dataset contains sensitive information. In all cases the descriptive information about your data (i.e. the metadata) will be openly available, making your research findable and visible to others.
In contrast to general-purpose repositories (like Zenodo), the DANS Data Stations are domain-specific. DANS helps you to curate your data according to the standards of your domain and archive it sustainably. DANS offers the data station services to the public free of charge (with certain exceptions), without commercial interest.
