FigShare also includes active storage / management space for individuals and institutions. https://figshare.com/features I know several universities are looking at using FigShare for these purposes, and then feeding “finished” data into their existing IR or preservation repo. - Tom On Apr 12, 2016, at 6:54 AM, Christine Mayo <[log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>> wrote: Dryad and FigShare are both preservation repositories, not collaboration spaces like what the OP is looking for. I'm afraid I don't have any recommendations of a good collaborative working space, but Dryad in particular is only for data in a finished state which are associated with a specific peer-reviewed publication. Nature recommends those repositories for storing data associated with their articles, most journals don't have info or recommendations on how to manage data before you get to the archiving point of the lifecycle. We're working on implementing DataVerse here at BC, but I get the impression that it's much the same, that a depositor can self-submit depending on the settings, but the only real option then is to publish it, I don't know that other members of the research team can easily get in and modify things. Which is too bad, as it does meet the need of being something that you can host locally if you choose. I would absolutely +1 Open Science Framework, but that does have the issue of being cloud storage rather than a framework you can set up on a local server.

The researcher wants to be able to access, add and change this data from their project site and allow her fellow research partners (not necessarily at our institution) access as well. Are any other folks offering this kind of service? Have you partnered with campus IT to make this happen? Are you using particular software, such as DataVerse or Pydio to facilitate such a service?
