Enabling the Access, Publishing, and Preservation of Curated Research Data at Dryad

Dryad Digital Repository(datadryad.org)是一个广受欢迎的通用数据库，主要存储生物科学领域的数据集，尽管不是唯一的。自2009年以来，Dryad已经发表了28,000个研究数据集，代表了900多种学术期刊。通过整理来自各种科学研究的数据，现在世界各地都可以获得高质量的研究数据。Dryad对已发表的研究数据的开放许可促进了研究结果的发现能力和访问，这使得不断增加的多样化和高质量数据的重复使用和重现性成为可能，以促进研究和教育。Dryad中的数据集被编入索引，以便于发现、自由重用和可引用。Dryad已经被生物界广泛采用，下载量超过300万次。提交给Dryad的数据包在格式和科学内容上都是多样化的。Dryad的两个关键区别特征是：研究人员可以通过整合超过140种期刊轻松存储他们的数据集，并根据公平的数据存储库原则(可查找、可访问、可互操作和可重复使用)对所有提交的数据集进行整理。然而，Dryad的影响范围和影响远远超出了直接整合的期刊集。在过去的10年里，Dryad已经允许数百种期刊为他们的数据政策提供支持，并为9.6万名研究人员提供资源，帮助他们遵守资助者和出版商的要求。Dryad是一个以会员制为基础的501C3非营利性和会员制组织，由利益相关者(包括科学协会、出版商、机构和其他机构)提供透明的治理，以确保委托给它的研究数据继续免费提供。Dryad正在与加州数字图书馆合作，建立更广泛的机构支持和更强大的长寿计划。该项目将为仙女座研究数据的管理、保存和访问提供有限的支持，目标是使仙女座成为一项自我维持的服务。在这种支持下，Dryad有望在三年内实现可持续发展，届时运营该组织的运营成本将完全由数据发布费和会员费提供资金。仙女座数字存储库可在https://datadryad.org.This上访问，该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Dryad Digital Repository (datadryad.org) is a popular general purpose repository for datasets predominantly, though not exclusively, from the biosciences. Since 2009, Dryad has published 28,000 research datasets that represent over 900 academic journals. By curating data from a broad diversity of scientific studies, quality research data are now available around the world. Dryad's open licensing of published research data promotes discover-ability and access of research findings, which enables the reuse and reproducibility of an ever-increasing collection of diverse and high-quality data to advance research and education. Datasets in Dryad are indexed for easy discovery, freely reusable, and cite-able. Dryad has been broadly adopted by the biological community with more than 3 million downloads. The data packages submitted to Dryad are diverse in format and scientific content. Two key distinguishing features of Dryad are: the ease with which researchers can deposit their datasets through the integrations Dryad has with over 140 journals, and the curation applied across all submitted datasets in accordance with the FAIR principles for data repositories (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable). However, the reach and impact of Dryad goes far beyond the set of journals that have direct integrations. Over the past 10 years, Dryad has allowed hundreds of journals to give their data policies teeth and 96,000 researchers a resource for funder and publisher mandate compliance. Dryad is a membership-based 501c3 non-profit and membership-led organization that provides transparent governance by the community of stakeholders (including scientific societies, publishers, institutions, and others) to ensure the continued free availability of the research data entrusted to it. Dryad is working in partnership with California Digital Library to build wider institutional support and a more robust longevity plan. This project will provide limited support for the curation, preservation, and access of research data at Dryad, with the goal of Dryad becoming a self sustaining service. With this support, Dryad is on track to reach sustainability within three years at which the operational costs of running the organization are fully funded by Data Publishing Charges and membership fees. The Dryad Digital Repository may be accessed at https://datadryad.org.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
