Queen’s University Dataverse Collection Receives Storage Upgrades

Queen’s University Dataverse is part of Scholars Portal Dataverse, a publicly accessible secure Canadian data repository provided by the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). Researchers can use Dataverse to search for data, directly deposit data, create metadata, release and share data openly or privately, and visualize and explore data.

Scholars Portal Dataverse recently migrated their file storage to the Ontario Library Research Cloud (OLRC). All data is now replicated a minimum of 3 times across the OLRC’s 5 storage nodes across Ontario. This ensures safe storage, preservation and curation of research data, a central tenet of the Tri-Agency Research Data Management Policy.

Queen’s University Library provides an RDM service supporting researchers in complying with the Tri-Agency RDM Policy, managing and publishing their research data to Scholars Portal Dataverse.
